ABSTRACT:
A method and system for detecting and responding to fugitive fueling of a reciprocating internal combustion engine use a controller to determine the actual power output of an engine, as well as a predicted power output based on fuel provided by the engine's fuel system. An engine controller may determine a presence of fugitive fueling by comparing the predicted output with the actual output, and prompt an emergency shutdown sequence if the actual engine output exceeds the predicted power output.
