Patent Images
1. A fuel system for a floating unit, including a fuel path which extends from a filler neck as far as an engine, with the fuel system comprising:
- a measuring device, arranged in the fuel path such that at least part of fuel, when flowing along the fuel path, flows through the measuring device, to measure a sulfur content of the fuel flowing through the measuring device;
at least two fuel tanks for holding fuels of different sulfur content;
a mixing device to mix fuels of the at least two fuel tanks, anda regulating device, cooperating with the measuring device, to regulate a mixture ratio of the fuels.

11. A method for operating a floating unit including a fuel system with a fuel path extending from a filler neck as far as an engine, of the method comprising:
-
arranging a measuring device in the fuel path such that at least part of fuel, when flowing along the fuel path, flows through the measuring device; and determining a sulfur content in the fuel flowing through the measuring device, wherein at least two fuels of different sulfur content are mixed during operation of the floating unit, and wherein a sulfur content of the mixed fuel is held at a value on the basis of the measured sulfur content. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
