Zusammenfassung:A method for determining a purge fuel mass flow rate from a fuel vapour control system to an internal combustion engine having a compressor for delivering purge gas from the fuel vapour control system to the engine, the method including; determining the temperature rise of the purge gas passing through the compressor; determining the specific heat ratio of the purge gas as a function of the temperature rise; and determining the purge fuel mass flow rate as a function of the specific heat ratio of the purge gas. Preferably, the fuel vapour control system includes an air/fuel separation means for collecting fuel vapour generated within the engine.
