Abstract
A method for detecting and responding to fugitive fueling of an internal combustion engine uses monitoring of the variability of at least one fuel-linked engine operating parameter to determine that fugitive fueling is occurring. Once fugitive fueling is detected, mitigation will be implemented so as to shut the engine down without consequential damage.
