A fuel-flow alarm includes a fuel-flow detector for detecting the volume of fuel flowing in a conduit connecting a fuel tank to an engine fuel supply device and provides a warning when the volume of fuel is either above or below predetermined limits. The fuel-flow alarm includes a setting unit used to pre-set fuel-flow limit values for various operational states of the engine, detectors which detect the operational status of the engine, a compensation unit for adjusting the pre-set fuel flow limit values in dependence upon the operational status of the engine and a comparator which compares the limit values outputted from the compensation unit with the actual, detected flow rate. When a determination is made that the fuel flow rate exceeds at least one permissible limit value, the alarm is activated.
