Abstract
The present invention discloses an operating liquid container system, comprising a fuel container with a fuel fill level sensor, a urea container with a urea fill level sensor, and a tank control device which is connected to the fuel fill level sensor in order to receive data representing a fill level of the fuel container and to the urea fill level sensor in order to receive data representing a fill level of the urea container, wherein the tank control device is designed to determine, taking into consideration the data representing the fill level of the fuel container, a first distance that can be covered with the fuel quantity situated in the fuel container, wherein the tank control device is furthermore designed to determine, taking into consideration the data representing the fill level of the urea container, a second distance that can be covered with the urea quantity situated in the urea container, and wherein the tank control device is furthermore designed to output a warning signal if the first distance is longer than or equal to the second distance.
