Abstract:
A conveying unit which can be mounted in a tank for conveying a liquid additive from the tank includes a filling level sensor which can emit and receive waves that are reflected back to the filling level sensor at a surface of liquid in the tank, so that a filling level measurement can be carried out by measuring the transit time of the waves. The conveying unit has at least one additional sensor device or sensor with which it is possible to determine if there is frozen additive in the tank. A tank for storing a liquid additive, a motor vehicle having the conveying unit and a method for determining a liquid additive quantity in a tank are also provided.
