Zusammenfassung:	The method for determination of the degree of filling of a vehicle fuel tank (10) comprises measuring the angle of inclination of the vehicle. The level of the fuel at a specific point is then measured and the degree of filling calculated from these two parameters. Independent claims are included for: (A) a display system for use in the method; (B) a measuring system incorporating the display system; (C) fuel tanks fitted with the measuring system; and (D) vehicles fitted with the fuel tanks. Ein Kraftfahrzeug (1) hat eine Anzeigevorrichtung für den Füllstand eines Kraftstofftanks (10) des Kraftfahrzeugs (1). Mit einer Neigungsinformation des Kraftfahrzeugs (1) und mit einer lokalen Füllhöheninformation des Kraftstofftanks (10) wird durch eine Umrechnungseinheit anhand einer in der Umrechnungseinheit gespeicherten tankspezifischen Füllstandsfunktion der Füllstand des Kraftstofftanks bestimmt und ausgegeben.
