An internal combustion engine system is described herein. The system uses a switching rail in combination with a first fuel rail to operate an internal combustion engine. The first fuel rail receives a first fuel for combustion within one or more combustion cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The switching rail is configured to receive a first fuel or a second fuel. A controller is used to operate the switching valve that routes or directs the second fuel or the first fuel from its respective fuel tank depending on a position of the switching valve. The controller may use the first fuel as an alternative fuel source provided through the switching rail under switching conditions, such as start-up, shutdown, or when the second fuel is not available. 本文描述了一种内燃式发动机系统。系统使用与第一燃料轨组合的切换轨来操作系统的内燃式发动机。第一燃料轨接收用于在内燃式发动机的一个或多个燃烧气缸内燃烧的第一燃料。切换轨配置成接收第一燃料或第二燃料。控制器用于操作切换阀，所述切换阀根据切换阀的位置路由或引导来自其相应的燃料箱的第二燃料或第一燃料。在切换条件下，诸如启动、停机或当第二燃料不可用时，控制器可以使用第一燃料作为通过切换轨提供的替代燃料源。
