ABSTRACT:
A fuel volume measuring system for an automotive vehicle in which fuel volume detection signals are simply averaged during a relatively-short averaging time period at regular measuring cycles when the vehicle is being refueled, and further weight-averaged or moving-averaged at regular measuring cycles when the vehicle is running. Therefore, fuel volume can be indicated quickly at a high response speed when the vehicle is being refueled and additionally fuel volume fluctuations can be minimized when the vehicle is running. Further, the system according to the present invention discloses the method of detecting the state where the vehicle is being refueled on the basis of the fact that the difference between at-least one of the current data signal indicative of fuel volume and at-least one of the preceding data signal indicative of fuel volume exceeds a predetermined value.
