Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention discusses a novel liquid detection system for an internal combustion engine, a method of operating the liquid detection system for an internal combustion engine, and a method of upgrading an internal combustion engine with a liquid detection system. The invention is specifically applicable with large internal combustion engines, which are started by using compressed air. The liquid detection system and the methods of the invention utilize the starting valves (7) of an internal combustion engine by opening the valves (7) simultaneously, whereby, by rotating the engine slowly, liquid is removed from the cylinder (3) via drain valve (24) to drain pipe (28), where the presence of liquid is detected by the liquid detector (26).
