Abstract

See full text

Various approaches are described for controlling operation of an engine. One example method includes delivering a gaseous fuel to the engine during a first operating range when an amount of stored gaseous fuel is greater than a threshold; and disabling the delivery of the gaseous fuel during the first operating range when the amount of stored gaseous fuel is less than the threshold and delivering a second fuel to operate the engine, yet continuing to deliver the gaseous fuel to start the engine during a cold start even when the amount of stored gaseous fuel is less than the threshold.
