Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9000225A1] In known adaptive processes for fuel tank ventilation, the last value of the load factor is stored and directly used as initial value of the load factor for fuel tank ventilation purposes when the process starts once again. In the process disclosed, the stored value is first multiplied by a resetting factor and the result of the multiplication is then used as initial value. The resetting factor depends on the fuel temperature and amounts to maximum 1. This process has the advantage of giving good regulation results from the start of the process when it is applied to an internal combustion engine that is stopped when the fuel tank ventilation gas contains a high proportion of fuel vapours and that is started once again when said proportion is low.
