Abstract
A method monitors the emissions of a supply vessel storing a volatile medium during operation including a fuel supply tank of a motor vehicle. A tightness check of the supply vessel is carried out from time-to-time. The temperature of the medium is determined based on at least one characteristic variable utilizing a model computation from time-to-time or cyclically. Either the temperature is utilized in the tightness check or the tightness check is carried out only when the determined temperature of the medium lies within a pregivable temperature interval.
