Is it possible to design and manufacture a Triple Fuel Source Input Automobile that can run on Petrol, Diesel as well as CNG (Gasoline) ?.

What are the limitations factors for constructing the same ?.

Petrol, Diesel and CNG Engine have to be constructed within the Automobile ?.e three engines. This could be a difficult system to implement ?.
There will be three different source fuel inputs one for petrol, one for diesel and one for gasoline example engine front, left and right rear ?.
Cost factor for the automobile will increase ?.
Will it become a complex automobile to be constructed ?.
Among a Four wheeler viz Car, Truck, Bus etc and Two wheeler viz Motorcycle, Scooter etc , which will be more difficult to manufacture ?.

Thanks & Regards,

What would be the purpose of this?

Also, there's a simple reason why this would be incredibly complicated (if not impossible):

CNG and Petrol use spark ignition ie. The spark plug fires to ignite fuel-air mix.
Diesel uses compression ignition ie. Heat of compression of air in the cylinder ignites the mix.

Because of this they have different characteristics such as thermal efficiency, strength of internals, stroke length, injection timing, etc.

Thank you.

Among Two Wheelers - Scooters, Motorcycles, Bikes etc Four Wheelers - Cars, Jeeps, Buses, Trucks etc Which can be considered a easier automobile for implementing the Triple Fuel Source Input as it could be a complex vehicle but not impossible to manufacture ?.

Theoretically we cannot have Petrol and Diesel as input sources in the same
automobile ?.

Among the three choices what would be the best option ?.

1. Both Theoretically and Practically correct.
2. Theoretically possible but practically not possible.
3. Theoretically and Practically not correct.

Thanks & Regards,

It depends on the engine really, not the body. But you would need something with Direct Injection and plenty of variables on the ECU.

I have been thinking of a few possibilities, will let you know.
