Abstract
In a method for controlling a fuel-supply system, a first supply unit supplies fuel from a storage container to a second supply unit. At least a partial quantity of the fuel quantity supplied by the first supply unit returns to the storage container as return quantity via a return line. The return quantity is determined as a function of the operating state of the fuel-supply system. The first supply unit is controlled at least as a function of the return quantity.
