Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9511378A1] Described is a method of filling the fuel-feed system of an internal-combustion engine, the method calling for the electric fuel pump to be controlled by a control unit. When the control unit determines, based on measurements of certain parameters, that it is necessary to fill the fuel-feed system with fuel, it commands the fuel pump to feed in sufficient fuel before the engine is started. When the control unit determines, however, that engine start-up will be normal, the normal procedure is followed for control of the fuel pump. It is also possible to change over from fuel-pump time control to normal control when the measured parameters correspond to recognized switchover conditions.
