Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for leak testing a tank system of a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the motor current of the pump has not yet reached the value of the reference measurement after this time ti (as shown in FIG. 2 using the curve denoted by d), or it is determined after the time ti that the motor current of the tank measurement no longer increases , although it is still below the value of the reference measurement, there is suspicion of a fine leak. If a missing gradient has given rise to this suspicion and a time tg e ⁇ has not yet been reached, the pumping continues until the total pumping time tges is reached, which can be selected depending on the tank fill level.
- the motor current of the pump (pump current) reached at time t tot is measured and stored, for example, as ie n d.
