| 摘要 | A gauging method for a plastic fuel tank mounted on a hybrid vehicle, the tank including a reservoir including a gauge for measuring an amount of fuel in the tank, the method including: measuring the amount of fuel in the tank using the gauge; estimating deformation of the tank using at least one sensor onboard the vehicle; and correcting the amount measured by the gauge based on the estimated deformation. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A gauging method for a plastic fuel tank mounted on a hybrid vehicle, the tank including a gauge that allows a volume of fuel present in the tank to be measured, the method comprising: measuring the volume of fuel present in the tank using the gauge; estimating a deformation of the tank using at least one on-board sensor carried on board the vehicle, the at least one on-board sensor including a working-life meter; and correcting the volume measured by the gauge based on the estimated deformation. | ||
