An internal combustion engine of the Diesel type has an injection system with injectors which at high pressure injects compressed liquid gas into the combustion chambers of the cylinders. The liquid gas may be produced from volatile organic compounds evaporated from crude oil tanks. The engine can be a high-compression engine with a compression ration of at least 1:14, and the liquid gas can have a methane number of less than 10.
