Process for operating a fuel-burning engine
First Claim
1. A process for operating a fuel-burning engine which uses a conventional fuel containing alcohol as an alternative fuel, comprising the steps of measuring the fuel-alcohol ratio for controlling the quantity of fuel to be injected during engine operation, and determining the alcohol content of the fuel-alcohol ratio in a shared circuit by measuring the capacitance and the conductance of a quantity of fuel accommodated in a measuring cell.

Abstract
A process for operating a fuel-burning engine which uses a conventional fuel containing alcohol as an alternative fuel, the fuel-alcohol ratio being measured for the purpose of controlling the quantity of fuel to be added at any time, wherein the measurement of the alcohol ratio of the fuel fed in serves to pre-control the quantity of fuel fed in, whereas the air ratio is precision controlled via a lambda control.
