Abstract
Method and equipment for control of an internal combustion engine with a fuel-reforming device wherein air passing through the fuel-reforming device is mechanically controlled depending on the volume of air to be sucked into the engine without passing through the fuel-reforming device and is supplied into the air not passing through the fuel-reforming device, upstream of a throttle valve by means of an air pump; the total air volume sucked into the engine is detected; and the volume of fuel matching the total air volume is electrically controlled so that it can be supplied upstream of the fuel-reforming device into the air passing through the fuel-reforming device, and if necessary, also into the air not passing through the fuel-reforming device.
