Abstract
A Method for tank venting in an internal combustion engine includes ascertaining a degree of loading of an activated carbon filter. A desired flushing flow is calculated and a pulse duty factor for a tank venting valve is set depending on the level of the degree of loading and a predefined value for a maximum possible fuel mass flow through the tank venting valve. This is done as a function of the desired flushing flow, the temperature of a flushing stream and a pressure gradient at the tank venting valve, in such a way that the lambda deviation, brought about by a flushing procedure, of a lambda controller of the lambda control device, does not exceed a predefined maximum value.
