Abstract: What is the importance of measuring compressor engine fuel? Can it conserve fuel? If so, How? For many years, fuel gas for compressor engines on natural gas transmission pipelines was measured merely to account for the total amount of gas used. Normally, there was one meter measuring all of the fuel for a number of engines in a compressor station. Until just a few years ago, this kind of measurement of compressor engine fuel was sufficient. Until recently, natural gas was considered plentiful and cheap. Then along came the early 1970s, when natural gas supplies became a concern, as exploration costs were continuously on the rise and the overall cost of natural gas began to progressively increase. It is at this time that major natural gas transmission companies began looking for ways of conserving this product, as it became economically feasible and the proper thing to do, as energy conservation has become more and more a way of life.
