Abstract

See full text

A method to deliver natural gas (NG) to an internal combustion engine (ICE) via an fuel gas intake assembly is disclosed. The fuel gas intake assembly includes a gas intake manifold and at least one gas admission valve (GAV). The ICE is in fluid communication with the GAV. The method includes the provision of at least one lubrication introduction device, at least a portion of which is laden with a lubricant. The at least one lubrication introduction device is positioned downstream from the gas intake manifold and upstream from the GAV. A substantially pressurized NG is introduced into the gas intake manifold, which causes passage of the NG through the lubrication introduction device. This causes the NG to entrain lubricant from the lubrication introduction device, introduce the lubricant into the fuel gas intake assembly, and deposit the lubricant, at least partially, into the GAV.
