Abstract

A method for detecting the tank fuel level of a motor vehicle includes: ascertaining the tank level sensor signal (UTSG) of a tank level sensor, determining a calculated tank level (Fcalc) as a function of a fuel quantity consumed by the internal combustion engine, and providing a corrected tank level signal as a function of the tank level sensor signal (UTSG) and the calculated tank level (Fcalc).
