Motor vehicle e.g. car, or operating machine, has drive operable using fuel e.g. bio-diesel or fuel with bio-diesel percentage, and monitoring units for monitoring aging-based fuel quality depending on continuous or constant parameters

摘要

The motor vehicle (1) or machine has a drive (4) e.g. internal combustion engine or injection system, that is operable using a fuel (3) e.g. bio-diesel or fuel with bio-diesel percentage. Monitoring units (5) are provided for monitoring the fuel quality that depends on fuel aging. The monitoring units are formed for monitoring the aging-based fuel quality based on a model calculation i.e. depending on continuous or constant parameters e.g. environmental parameters or fuel parameters such as surrounding or fuel temperature, where the parameters are measured by a sensor (7). An independent claim is also included for a method for monitoring the fuel quality that depends on fuel aging.
