US Patent 10451509 Method for determining a fault within a flow divider

The present disclosure relates generally to a method for determining a failure of a flow divider within a fuel system, the method being performed by a controller and comprising the steps of: delivering a fuel command, calculating an expected fill time, wherein the expected fill time is indicative of the time required to fill a known fuel manifold volume, determining whether the actual fill time is greater than or equal to an expected fill time; and determining whether an actual fuel pressure value is less than or equal to an expect fuel pressure value based at least in part on at least one environmental signal.
