Abstract
A method and associated arrangement for achieving an adjusted engine setting utilizing engine output and/or fuel consumption. An engine that consumes fuel is run. Fuel consumption and/or engine operation output is determined. A value is determined utilizing the determined fuel consumption and/or the determined engine operation output. The engine setting is adjusted to cause the determined value to change toward a desired value.
Claims23
A method for achieving an adjusted engine setting, the method including:
- running an engine that consumes fuel;
- determining fuel consumption;
- determining engine operation output;
