Abstract
A fuel system (10) comprising a fluid blender (14) in fluid communication with a source of a first fuel composition and a source of a second fuel composition via at least one inlet (32, 34). The blender (14) is operable to receive at least the first fuel composition and/or second fuel composition via the at least one inlet (32, 34), and output a resultant fuel composition comprising the received fuel compositions via at least one outlet (36). The at least one outlet (36) is in fluid communication with an engine fuel injection device (38).

A fuel system comprising
- a fluid blender in fluid communication with a source of a first fuel composition and a source of a second fuel composition via at least one inlet,
- the blender being operable to receive at least the first fuel composition and/or second fuel composition via the at least one inlet,
- and output a resultant fuel composition comprising the received fuel compositions via at least one outlet,
- the at least one outlet being in fluid communication with an engine fuel injection device.
A method of providing fuel to an engine during a period of operation of the engine, the method comprising the steps of:
- operating a fluid blender in fluid communication with a source of a first fuel composition and a source of a second fuel composition via at least one inlet, the blender being configured to receive at least the first fuel composition and/or second fuel composition via the at least one inlet, and
- delivering a resultant fuel composition comprising the received fuel compositions via at least one outlet to an engine.
