(DE19523109-A1)      The system contains e.g. a H2/O2 fuel cell system (4) such as PEM-cell with a proton-conducting membrane, for generating electrical power for operating electrical loads (5) instead of a conventional generator, but other types of fuel-cell could be used instead. It contains a device (10,11) for separating hydrogen from the fuel used to operate the internal combustion engine, a pipe line (12) for delivering the hydrogen to the fuel cell system and a disposal line (15) for delivering the residual fuel constituents to the engine (1) and/or to a fuel tank (2).    The hydrogen separating system consists of a splitting system (10) and a hydrogen separation system (11). In the splitting system the fuel is split into hydrogen and a residual gas. In the hydrogen separating system the hydrogen is separated from the remaining fuel components.    ADVANTAGE -   Current for electrical loads is provided with reduced fuel consumption and independently of the instantaneous engine revs. rate.
