Abstract
In an example method for detecting the fuel quantity during the refueling of a motor vehicle, the volume of the fuel conducted to the motor vehicle during the refueling operation and the temperature of the fuel are measured. The measured volume is corrected to predetermined temperature conditions by means of the measured temperature, specifically in a monitoring unit for a gas recirculation device. Preferably, a retrofitting kit for a device for carrying out the method contains a temperature sensor and an accessory for the monitoring unit for the gas recirculation system.
