Energy Conversions Incorporated has continued to work on the EMD-710 dual-fuel test cell in the second quarter of the project. The project is on schedule and is sticking to their original timeline. The tasks performed and percent complete are spark prechamber work--50% done; diesel prechamber work--50% done; gas compressor--100% complete; port injection work--50% complete; hydraulic gas inlet valve work--30% complete; knock board modifications--75% complete; test documentation--50% complete; record data from navy generator and offshore rigs--50% complete and single cylinder testing--50% complete. The authors continued to do much of their parts testing on single cylinder gas operation. The single cylinder testing will likely continue throughout the 710 development
