Method for detecting fuel in oil of an internal combustion engine

摘要

A method for detecting fuel leaking into an oil pan (16) containing oil which is used to lubricate an internal combustion engine (12) utilizes a plurality of sensors (18). The method includes the step of measuring a plurality of parameters of the oil using each of the plurality of sensors (18) to create measured values. A fuel leakage value is calculated incorporating each of the measured values. The method then determines when the fuel leakage value exceeds a predetermined value.
