A liquid fuel detection system for a fuel vapor system of a vehicle
providing fuel vapor to an engine operating in closed loop includes an
oxygen sensor that generates an oxygen signal based on an oxygen level in
engine exhaust. An engine speed sensor generates a speed signal based on
a speed of the engine. And a control module receives the oxygen signal
and the speed signal, determines a fuel control factor based on the
oxygen signal, determines a long term modifier based on long term changes
of the fuel control factor, and detects the presence of liquid fuel in
the fuel vapor system based on the fuel control factor, the speed signal,
and the long term modifier.
