Abstract:
Methods and systems for fuel system leak detection in a hybrid electric vehicle using a fuel reservoir are disclosed. In one example approach, a method comprises, during an engine off condition, delivering fuel from a fuel tank into a reservoir while the fuel tank is vented to atmosphere, discontinuing delivering fuel into the reservoir, sealing the fuel tank from atmosphere, and following the sealing, indicating a leak based on a pressure increase in the fuel tank from a pressure when sealed from venting.
