Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for conveying fuel from the fuel tank of a motor vehicle.
- Such pumping may e.g. by introducing a suction device into the fuel filler neck or in a service opening, which is present for example in the vehicle interior
- the invention provides a method and apparatus for extracting fuel from the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, which in a simple manner enables complete draining of the fuel tank without requiring an additional service opening.
- An inventive method for conveying fuel from the fuel tank of a motor vehicle includes the steps to connect a diagnostic tester with a control unit of the motor vehicle and control the control unit of the motor vehicle by the diagnostic test device such that the control unit drives the fuel pump of the motor vehicle, so that this fuel from the Fuel tank promotes.
- a diagnostic test device for motor vehicles, which have a fuel tank and a control unit, is designed for electrical connection to the control unit and is able to control the control unit such that it drives the fuel pump of the motor vehicle in such a way that the fuel pump receives fuel from the fuel tank of the motor vehicle promotes.
- An inventive method and a device enable the user or vehicle mechanic to easily and conveniently remove fuel from the fuel tank of a motor vehicle and to completely empty the fuel tank of the motor vehicle when needed.
- so-called saddle tanks which can be emptied only with difficulty using the previously known methods, can be completely emptied.
- the emptying of the fuel tank is also not prevented or made difficult by a possibly to prevent fuel theft in the fuel filler neck built Absaugêt.
- On the access to a usually difficult to access service opening which requires, for example, the expansion of the rear seat, parts of the interior trim and / or the carpet can be dispensed with.
- the fuel tank can also without lift, z. As in the breakdown service on the road, and emptied on the costly and time-consuming expansion of a filled fuel tank to empty it outside the vehicle, can be dispensed with.
- An object of the invention is to prevent overheating of the fuel pump. This object is solved by the features of claims 1 and 9.
- the emptying of the fuel tank runs off automatically after the start, so that the fuel tank emptying can also be performed by less intensively trained workshop personnel and workshop personnel can perform other activities during the fuel tank emptying.
- the method prior to driving the controller, includes connecting an output of the fuel pump, eg, with a hose, to an external container to convey the fuel removed from the fuel tank to the external container.
- the from the fuel tank withdrawn fuel can be collected in the external container and optionally reused or disposed of properly. Pollution of the environment by the fuel removed from the fuel tank is reliably avoided.
- the controller is driven so that it drives the fuel pump for at least a defined period of time. Characterized in that the fuel pump is driven only over a defined and limited period of time, dry running, overheating and the resulting possible damage or destruction of the fuel pump is reliably prevented.
- the defined period is preferably 30 seconds when the fuel pump is driven periodically and 120 seconds when the fuel pump is continuously driven. Driving for such limited periods reliably prevents damage to the fuel pump by dry running and / or overheating.
- the fuel pump is periodically driven for a number of predetermined periods of preferably 30 seconds each to allow for complete draining of the fuel tank while avoiding dry running and / or overheating of the fuel pump.
- the amount of fuel delivered from the fuel tank during a defined period of time is determined, for example, by measuring the flow rate through the drain of the fuel pump or the weight gain of the external reservoir into which the fuel drawn from the fuel tank is directed. Determining the amount of fuel delivered in a defined period of time and taken out of the fuel tank makes it possible to check the correct functioning of the fuel pump.
- An inventive diagnostic test device and the method according to the invention can be used in addition to the emptying of the fuel tank and for checking the function of the fuel pump.
- the device reads a fuel tank fill signal from the controller of the motor vehicle and controls the controller in response to the read fuel fill signal.
- the evaluation of the fuel filling signal takes place, for example, in the diagnostic test device, so that no additional intelligence in the control unit is required and the method with conventional control devices, as they are currently installed in motor vehicles, can be performed.
- the fuel tank fill signal is available, for example, on the CAN bus of the motor vehicle in a manufacturer-specific protocol or in a standardized OBD software.
- the fuel pump is preferably repeatedly cycled until the fuel tank fill signal indicates that fuel is no longer in the fuel tank.
- a device according to the invention (diagnostic test device) 4 is, as in the Fig. 1 shown electrically connected via a first single or multi-pole data line 10 to the control unit 8 in the interior of a motor vehicle 2.
- the diagnostic test device 4 may additionally be connected via further connecting lines 9 to other components of the motor vehicle 2.
- the diagnostic test device 4 is connected, for example, to the power supply to the battery 3 of the motor vehicle 2.
- the diagnostic test device 4 is connected to an input and output device 6, which is designed to enable the input of data into the diagnostic test device 4 and to display the results of the diagnostic test.
- the input and output device 6 may be formed, for example, as a portable computer (laptop). However, other embodiments of such input and output device 6 are possible as long as they allow the input and output of data in and out of the diagnostic test device 4.
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of the operation of the invention.
- Fuel is stored in a fuel tank 16 shown schematically and may be removed from the fuel tank 16 via a fuel extraction line 18.
- a fuel extraction line 18 In the fuel extraction line 18, a preferably electrically driven fuel pump 14 is provided, which takes the fuel through the fuel extraction line 18 from the fuel tank 16 during operation and outputs under elevated pressure in a fuel pressure line 20.
- the fuel pump 14 is actuated via a control line 12 from the control unit 8 of the motor vehicle 2.
- the fuel pressure line is one in which Fig. 2 not shown, injection device of the engine of the motor vehicle 2 connected to supply the latter during operation the necessary fuel.
- the fuel pressure line 20 e.g. by a hose connected to an external reservoir 22 adapted to receive fuel taken from the fuel tank 16.
- a flow meter 24 is provided, which makes it possible to measure the amount of fuel flowing through the fuel pressure line 20.
- a measuring device may be provided, which measures, for example, based on the level of the fuel in the external container 22 or the weight gain of the external container 22, which taken from the fuel tank 16 and introduced into the external container 22 amount of fuel.
- control unit 8 as already in the Fig. 1 shown connected via a first data line 10 with a diagnostic test device 4 according to the invention.
- the control unit 8 controls the diagnostic test device 4 by appropriate signals on the data line 10, the control unit 8 such that the control unit 8 via the further control line 12, the fuel pump 14 drives such that this fuel through the fuel extraction line 18 from the Removing fuel tank 16 and outputs through the fuel pressure line 20 into the external container 22.
