Fuel Effects on Maintenance Costs
There are many sources of the fuel that is used in gas engines. These different sources may have an effect on the engine maintenance intervals. These sources include pipeline natural gas, wellhead gas, bio-gas, and propane.
With pipeline natural gas, maintenance intervals might be extended. Due to the harmful effects of impurities that contaminate gases such as bio-gas, shorter maintenance intervals would be expected. These maintenance intervals can be improved by processing the gas in order to remove damaging impurities.
For more information on types of fuels, refer to the appropriate topics in this Special Publication, “Fuel Specifications” section. For specific information on the maintenance intervals, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the engine.
