Abstract: A vehicle fuel system has on-board diagnostics for
vapour integrity testing. The vapour integrity test includes
evacuating the fuel system; closing the system and allowing
pressure to rise due to air ingress and vapour generation
(bleedup) ; making a series of pressure measurements at
intervals during bleedup to give a series of timed pressure
values; and calculating vapour rate from values derived from
the pressure values. Vapour integrity may be calculated from
the same values representing pressure gradient and the rate
of change of pressure gradient or the vapour rate may be
used as a correction to vapour integrity derived by other
means.
