A method for determining composition of a fuel blend from a first and at least a second fuel for operating an internal combustion engine. An ignition angle of the internal combustion engine is altered and a non-intermittent fluctuation in torque, which is a function of ignition angle, and/or a non-intermittent rotational discontinuity, and/or a variable derived from the discontinuity is used as a ...

The method involves generating a gas from engine oil by a fuel measuring flow (21), which is determined, and is considered by a pilot control during a dosing of fuel quantity supplied to an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine determines a supplied fuel-air-ratio. A deviation of the fuel air ratio is supplied to the internal combustion engine. The fuel-air-ratio of a measured...
