Abstract

A system and method for configuring parameters for a variable gaseous appliance, comprise a sensor for detecting a composition of the gaseous fuel in a fuel tank. A first set of instructions are executable on a processor for receiving a signal from the sensor and analyzing the gaseous fuel based on the Wobbe Index, methane index, and inert gas percentage, to produce a gaseous fuel analysis. A second set of instructions are executable on the processor for producing a signal for configuring parameters of the engine for running the engine based on the gaseous fuel analysis.
