Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for adjusting fueling to groups of cylinders of an engine based on individual cylinder knock sensor outputs. As one example, a system for an engine includes: a controller with computer readable instructions stored on non-transitory memory that when executed during operation of the engine cause the controller to: deliver natural gas and diesel fuel to a first group of cylinders at amounts that produce a common, first substitution ratio of natural gas; deliver natural gas and diesel fuel to a second group of cylinders at amounts that produce a common, second substitution ratio of natural gas; and change a makeup of each of the first group of cylinders and the second group of cylinders based on individual knock sensor outputs of each cylinder of the first group of cylinders and the second group of cylinders.
