    Abstract: A bi-fuel internal combustion engine system includes a first fuel system, a second fuel system, and a bi-fuel internal combustion engine. The bi-fuel internal combustion engine is configured to selectively consume one of a first fuel received from the first fuel system and a second fuel received from the second fuel system. The bi-fuel internal combustion engine includes a camshaft and a valve assembly. The camshaft has a cam. The valve assembly is positioned adjacent the camshaft and configured to interface with the cam. The valve assembly is selectively repositionable between a first position and a second position. The bi-fuel internal combustion engine has a first dynamic compression ratio when the valve assembly is in the first position and a second dynamic compression ratio when the valve assembly is in the second position. The second dynamic compression ratio is greater than the first dynamic compression ratio.

    Abstract: A fuel system is provided, comprising: a liquid fuel source; a gaseous fuel source; and a dual injector having a first flow path in flow communication with the liquid fuel source and a second flow path in flow communication with gaseous fuel source, and an outlet in flow communication with the first and second flow paths and positioned to directly inject liquid fuel from the first flow path and gaseous fuel from the second flow path into a combustion chamber of a cylinder of an engine.
