Abstract

Disclosed is a method for controlling a fuel pump for a motor vehicle, including determining if a set amount of fuel to be compressed is less than the minimum volume that can be delivered by the pump and, if this is the case, determining a new set amount of fuel to be compressed equal to the product of a number of compressions of a volume equal to the set amount of fuel to be compressed required to achieve at least the minimum volume that can be delivered and the set amount of fuel to be compressed; transmitting the new set amount of fuel to be compressed to the fuel pump; and subsequently disabling the fuel pump for a number of occurrences of the set amount of fuel equal to the number of compressions of a volume equal to the set amount of fuel to be compressed.
