摘要:
A sensor for detecting the properties of the fuel of an internal combustion engine includes at least one pair of internal electrodes (12, 13), extending in an axial direction relative to a further or third external electrode (14) which surrounds them. The invention also relates to a fuel rail (2) to which the sensor may be mounted, and a method for detecting the properties of the fluid.

The invention relates to a sensor (2-2 IV ) for detecting the density and the viscosity of a liquid fuel, in particular for a vehicle, comprising a sensing element (4, 4 III , 4 IV ) placed in contact with said liquid fuel and near a reference element (28, 28 I , 28 II , 28 III , 31), so as to affect the motion of the liquid fuel flow by increasing the viscous friction effect of the sensing element (4, 4 III , 4 IV ), so that the resonance frequency of said sensing element (4, 4 III , 4 IV ) will be affected more by the density and viscosity of said liquid fuel.
