Abstract

A fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle in particular is provided with a control unit for determining a quantity of fuel to be supplied to a cylinder. An injection valve is provided for injecting the quantity of fuel to be supplied. The control unit determines whether combustion has taken place in the cylinder. The quantity of fuel supplied to the cylinder where no combustion has taken place is determined by the control unit.
