  • the correction amount of the CNG percentage is also 0.
  • the correction amount of the fuel injection timing is increased toward an advance side, the correction amount of the CNG percentage increases toward a positive side (the percentage of CNG contained in fuel increases).
  • the correction amount of the fuel injection timing is increased toward a retardation side, the correction amount of the CNG percentage increases toward a negative side (the percentage of CNG contained in fuel reduces).
