This paper presents experimental investigations on dual fuel operation of a 4 cylinder (turbocharged and intercooled) 62.5 kW gen-set diesel engine. The detailed investigations have been carried out with, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and mixture of LPG and hydrogen used as secondary fuels. The paper is projected to present crucial information regarding Burning period of the dual fuel diesel engine at a wide range of load conditions with different gaseous fuel substitutions. When only LPG is used as 30% of secondary fuel, the Burning period is increased by 5 0CA at 80% load condition. The major finding of the present work is major improvement in combustion parameters of dual fuel engine when hydrogen-LPG mixture is used as the secondary fuel. The best part of this Trial is that when 40% of mixture of LPG and hydrogen (7:3) is used as secondary fuel, burning period reduces by 4 0CA as compare to pure diesel operation.
