This paper presents an experimental research on the fuel control system which is installed on the diesel engine Cummins to assess the technical characteristics and emissions, when the engine is using dual fuel liquid LPG-Diesel with different ratios of LPG. The experimental results show that the engine running dual fuel LPG -Diesel reached 96 % maximum moment. Average torque and average power were reduced, but not significantly compared to the case of the engine using 100 % diesel. The percentage of the alternative LPG fuel could be reached by 60 %. For engine using dual fuel, the concentration of CO 2 and particle concentration are decreased.
