EMULSIFIED DIESEL FUEL
BIO-DIESEL
CORN OIL
VEGETABLE OIL
GREASE
Mixed with lye to separate the esters
LIQUID NATURAL GAS
• Lower cost to install fueling facilities
• LNG fuel tank interchangeable with diesel fuel tank
• Higher cost per gallon• LNG fuel tank and
fuel is heavier
LNG TANK INSTALLED
• Lower cost per gallon
• Lighter fuel tanks and fuel
• Cost of installing fueling facilities double that of an LNG facility
• Fuel tanks are bulky and must be protected, usually placed behind the cab of the truck
COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS
CNG TANKS ON VEHICLE

VEHICLES
VEHICLE TYPES
• DUAL FUEL VEHICLES
• BI-FUEL VEHICLES
• HYBRID VEHICLES
DEFINITION• DUAL FUEL
Vehicles that can operate on two fuels simultaneously
• GENERALLYDiesel and CNG or LNG
• BI-FUELVehicles
that operate on two fuels individually
• GENERALLYGasoline
and LPG
• HYBRIDVehicles
operate on two fuels simultaneously or individually
• GENERALLYGasoline
and E-85 or M85
FUELS USED• Diesel Fuel Primary
fuel used to operate the engine
• LNG or CNGSecondary fuels introduced to reduce emissions. It can only be used in combination with diesel fuel
DIESELMANIFOLD
DUAL FUELMANIFOLD
FUEL SYSTEM• Starts and idles on diesel
• 160 degrees looks for alternative fuel.
• If alternative fuel is available the system begins injecting CNG or LNG

CUSTOMER BASE
• Government entities• Private companies
with government contracts
• Private Companies interested in alternative fuel sources
INTRASTATE CARRIERS
Diesel FuelTax paid when fuel is purchased
LNG & CNGTax paid by carrier directlyto the Board on a return orby purchasing Flat RateStickers
DUAL FUEL & PTO
PTO VehiclesA customer base for dualfuel vehicles are wastedisposal companies. Thesevehicles operate PTO’s and claim refunds with the BOE
How do they claim refunds ?
INTERSTATE CARRIERS• Diesel Tax
paid at the pump in California
• LNG or CNG Tax paid to the BOE Cannot use California Flat Rate Sticker
• Tax Reporting Join IFTA or buy fuel trip permits
EXAMPLE OF DIESEL AND DUAL FUEL IFTA FLEET
• 10 Diesel vehicles• Travel 100,000 miles a
quarter between CA& NV
• 40% of those miles are in Nevada
• All fuel is purchased in California
• 10 Dual fuel vehicles• Travel 100,000 miles a
quarter between CA& NV
• 10% of those miles are in Nevada
• All fuel is purchased in California
How do they report?
COMBINED DIESEL SCHEDULE
DUAL FUEL CNG SCHEDULE
SPLIT FLEET REPORTING
• Carrier must file two IFTA Reports
• The IFTA account number is coded to identify the dual fuel fleet
• Report an accurate fleet MPG

DUAL FUEL DIESEL SCHEDULE
DUAL FUEL CNG SCHEDULE
CHALLENGES OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS
• Accounting for each new fuel type
• Standardized measurement of the fuel
(Therm vs. PSI)
• Tax on new fuel types
• Combination of fuels being
used
