Abstract

A method of and arrangement for supplying a maximum quantity of fuel which is supplied to a combustion engine in certain operational conditions independent of rate of airflow and rotational speed is provided with an altitude-correcting signal which depends the maximum amount of fuel to be supplied on the air density of the actual operational altitude of the combustion engine. Through the provision of such an altitude-correction signal, a too rich mixture of fuel and air is prevented.
