Patent

CA 2335821

A process and device are disclosed for determining the amount of fuel in the fuel tank of a motor vehicle. The fuel tank has a main reservoir fitted with a filling level meter for determining the amount of fuel contained therein, and a residue reservoir having a substantially smaller volume than the main reservoir, closed in itself and supplied by a pump with fuel from the main reservoir. After the main reservoir is emptied, the residual amount of fuel still contained in the reservoir is calculated as the difference between a defined volume of the reservoir (12) and fuel consumption summed over time.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour déterminer la quantité de carburant dans le réservoir de carburant d'un véhicule automobile. Ce réservoir de carburant comporte un réservoir principal équipé d'un dispositif de mesure de niveau de remplissage pour déterminer la quantité de carburant contenue à l'intérieur, et un réservoir de quantité résiduelle qui présente un volume sensiblement inférieur à celui du réservoir principal, est autonome et alimenté par une pompe avec du carburant provenant du réservoir principal. Une fois que le réservoir principal est vide, la quantité résiduelle de carburant encore contenue dans le réservoir est calculée sous la forme de la différence entre un volume défini du réservoir (12) et la consommation de carburant cumulée dans le temps.
