摘要： Estimating a fuel consumption includes receiving a request for estimating the fuel consumption between a first time and a second time; estimating a first fuel consumption value in a first time interval using fuel-sender resistance data; estimating a second fuel consumption value in a second time interval using fuel-injected mass data, where the first time interval and the second time interval are consecutive, non-overlapping intervals; and combining at least the first fuel consumption value and the second fuel consumption value to obtain a fuel consumption value.

摘要： A fill level sensor for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle includes electrical structures that consist of different materials. Sliding contact track structures exposed to the fuel consist of a gold-containing paste. Conductor structures are protected by a cover from contact with the fuel and consist of an especially inexpensive material. The fill level sensor therefore is highly resistant to corrosive fuels and can be produced at low cost.

摘要： A liquid level sensor system for use in a fuel tank, includes an arm that is movable, and constructed to be sufficiently buoyant so that the arm will provide an upward force as the fuel tank is filled with fuel. A sensing subsystem is coupled to the arm and is operable to indicate continuously the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The sensing subsystem may include a Wheatstone strain gauge, and the system may further include a microprocessor that coupled to the strain gauge to receive electrical signals corresponding to the upward force generated by the arm. A computer program provides instructions to the microprocessor to calibrate the arm according to preselected fuel-level conditions. The sensing subsystem may be located external to the fuel tank to limit the possibility of undesired igniting of the fuel.

摘要： A method for diagnosing a component failure in a saddle-type fuel tank assembly is provided. The method includes a) updating a maximum amount to a subsequent amount of fuel if the subsequent amount of fuel is greater than the maximum amount, b) updating a minimum amount to the subsequent amount of fuel if the subsequent amount of fuel is less than the minimum amount, c) determining a fuel consumption amount, and d) determining that one or more of a first fuel level sender and a second fuel level sender have failed if the difference between the maximum amount and minimum amount is less than a first threshold, and the fuel consumption amount is greater than a second threshold.

摘要： A contact is provided for a fluid level detection apparatus. The contact includes a contact support spring for rotating in response to a change in fluid level. The contact support spring includes a cantilevered spring arm having a proximal end to be fixed to a holder and a free end, and a contact support which is provided at the free end. First and second contacts are attached to the contact support in first and second positions, respectively, the first position being set at one end opposite to an end at which the second position is set. The joining position of the contact support and cantilevered spring arm is set so that a pressing load applied to the first and second contacts on the contact support by the flexure displacement of the contact support spring falls within a predetermined range.
