Abstract
A procedure for determining the proportion of components of a fuel mixture, which is boosted with a fuel pump, and a device for implementing the procedure are suggested. A measure for the power input of the fuel pump is detected, with whose aid the proportion of components of the fuel mixture is determined. By proceeding according to the invention a special sensor, which is susceptible to components of the fuel mixture can be waived.
Claims10
A method of determining a proportion of components of a fuel mixture that is boosted with a fuel pump, the method comprising:
- detecting a measure for a power input of the fuel pump;
- and
- determining the proportion of a first component and a second component of the fuel mixture with the detected measure for the power input of the fuel pump, wherein the first component is gasoline and the second component is ethanol.
A device, comprising:
- a customized controller constructed and configured to determine a proportion of components of a fuel mixture that is boosted with a fuel pump, to detect a measure for a power input of the fuel pump;
- and to determine the proportion of a first component and a second component of the fuel mixture with the detected measure for the power input of the fuel pump, wherein the first component is gasoline and the second component is ethanol.
A computer-implemented method for determining a proportion of components of a fuel mixture that is boosted with a fuel pump, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting a measure for a power input of the fuel pump;
- and determining the proportion of a first component and a second component of the fuel mixture with the detected measure for the power input of the fuel pump, wherein the first component is gasoline and the second component is ethanol.
A computer program product with a program code that is saved on a machine readable device and executed on a control unit for determining a proportion of components of a fuel mixture that is boosted with a fuel pump, the program code including instructions for detecting a measure for a power input of the fuel pump;
- and determining the proportion of a first component and a second component of the fuel mixture with the detected measure for the power input of the fuel pump, wherein the first component is gasoline and the second component is ethanol.
