<p>A system (10) and method for the identification of the fuel (24) being transported within a fuel delivery system of an internal combustion engine (22) that may utilize an advanced fuel (24) such as a fuel in water emulsion is provided. The identification of the fuel (24) is accomplished using a fuel identification sensor (20) that distinguishes the fuel type based on differences in optical properties, electrical properties, physical properties, or other characteristics between an aqueous fuel emulsion and a conventional fuel (24). The disclosed fuel identification device is readily incorporated in an anti-tampering device for preventing the use of a conventional fuel (24), such as diesel fuel, in an engine (22) designed and certified for aqueous fuel emulsions.</p> |
