<p>[quote user="blue streak 1"]Wonder if Brightline can get Siemens to modify its Chargers as well ? Nothing said in this link.[/quote]</p> <p>The Cummins QSK95 was design from a clear sheat with burning natural gas in mind. But it would be a spark-ignited engine:<br /><a href="http://social.cummins.com/cummins-hedgehog-big-green/">http://social.cummins.com/cummins-hedgehog-big-green/</a></p> <p>Quote from the link:</p> <p><em>Abundant supplies of natural gas are becoming more readily available at lower prices than diesel. That is expected to significantly increase demand for spark-ignited natural gas engines over the next several years. Leveraging the base architecture of Hedgehog’s diesel engine, the gas platform will be fully optimized to deliver market leading performance.</em></p> <p><em>“The gas engines will not be just a derivative of the diesel engines, but uniquely designed for gas,” said Mark Levett, Cummins Vice President and General Manager – High Horsepower Business.</em></p> <p>So the LNG version of the QSK95 would burn 100% LNG. I didn't find anything about rebuilding a QSK95 to burn LNG combustion-ignited. Technically it should be possible.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
