Systems and Methods for Fuel Selection for Combustion Devices

A method of tuning a combustion system configured to receive fuel from a plurality of fuel sources, the method comprising:

• actuating a fuel selector valve to permit a flow of fuel of a selected fuel type;
• adjusting a shutter to a shutter position associated with the selected fuel type, the shutter position being configured to provide a predetermined supply of air to thereby effect an air-to-fuel ratio associated with combustion of the selected fuel type;
• opening a fuel sampling valve;
• purging initial fuel from the combustion system, wherein purging initial fuel comprises discharging initial fuel from the combustion system and intaking replacement fuel into the combustion system;
• sampling the replacement fuel with a fuel composition sensor configured to determine a detected fuel type of the replacement fuel;
• and
• comparing the detected fuel type to the selected fuel type.

A system configured to receive fuel from a plurality of fuel sources, the combustion system comprising:

• a plurality of energy producing apparatuses;
• a shutter;
• a fuel selector;
• a fuel sample valve;
• a fuel composition sensor configured to determine a fuel type;
• and
• an electronic controller configured to:
• receive an indication of a selected fuel type from the fuel selector;
• output instructions to select one of the plurality of energy producing apparatus associated with the selected fuel type;
• and
• output instructions for the shutter to adjust to a shutter position associated with the selected fuel type, the shutter position being configured to provide a predetermined supply of air associated with the selected fuel type to thereby effect an air-to-fuel ratio associated with combustion of the selected fuel type.
