1. A fuel system for a power generator, the fuel system comprising:
a fuel tank for holding a hydrogen fuel;
a fuel delivery assembly extending from the fuel tank to the power generator, the fuel delivery assembly being configured to provide the hydrogen fuel from the fuel tank to the power generator in at least one of a gaseous phase and a supercritical phase, the hydrogen fuel containing at least one safety marker when the hydrogen fuel is in the fuel delivery assembly;
a safety marker separator located in the fuel delivery assembly and configured to separate the at least one safety marker from the hydrogen fuel; and
a safety marker storage tank for holding the at least one safety marker, the safety marker storage tank being fluidly coupled to the safety marker separator and configured to receive the at least one safety marker from the safety marker separator.
