Abstract
The invention relates to a fuel supplying device comprising a low-pressure circuit, a high-pressure pump which is coupled to the low-pressure circuit on the input side thereof and transports fuel into a fuel accumulator, and an actuator which controls the fuel flow rate of the high-pressure pump. In the event of a stationary load, a first value of a fuel pressure and a first actuating signal of the actuator are determined, a second value of the fuel pressure is set, and said second value being larger or smaller than the first value of the fuel pressure by a pre-determined amount, a second actuating signal of the actuator is determined once the second value of the fuel pressure has been set, and an error in the fuel supplying device is detected according to the first and second actuating signals of the actuator.
