Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0952332A2] The method involves detecting engine shut-off conditions by evaluating engine operating parameters, opening the tank vent valve or a separate blocking valve mounted in the vent line and closing a valve in a line between an adsorption container and the atmosphere. Depending on the detected conditions, the engine off conditions are detected by evaluating the operating parameters. The tank vent valve or separate valve are closed depending on the detected engine off conditions and the differential pressure changes are evaluated to determine the magnitude of leaks with the engine off, whereby the diagnostic results are stored. An Independent claim is also included for and arrangement for detecting leaks in motor vehicle fuel supply systems.
