Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for testing vehicle fuel tank integrity determines the free space in the system by pressurizing the system with a known quantity of gas. The loss in pressure over a test period is then monitored. These data are used to calculate the size of the leak. Alternatively, the free volume is compared to a reference volume and a normalized leak rate computed for comparison to reference values.
