1. A bi-fuel refrigeration system, comprising:

  • an engine operatively connected in energy supplying relation to a refrigeration unit;

    said refrigerator unit including a thermostat,a predetermined amount of gaseous fuel disposed in flow communication into said engine,a variable amount of distillate fuel disposed in controlled flow communication into said engine,an electronic control unit disposed in intercepting relation between said thermostat and said engine and structured to intercept an output command signal sent by said thermostat;

    said electronic control unit further structured to generate and transmit at least one control signal;

    said at least one control signal at least partially dependent upon said output command signal and configured to dictate a ratio of said gaseous fuel and distillate fuel provided to said engineandan actuator structured to receive said at least one control signal from said electronic control unit and further structured and disposed in flow adjusting relation of said distillate fuel into said engine in response to said at least one control signal.
