A method for monitoring a gas system comprises ascertaining a fuel mass flow demand of a consumer system, such as a fuel cell system having a fuel cell device, closing a first valve device to interrupt a gas supply from a gas tank to a high-pressure line system connecting the gas tank and the consumer system, and closing a second valve device to interrupt a gas supply from the high-pressure line system to the consumer system. In particular, a pressure change in the high-pressure line system is detected by means of a pressure sensor when the first valve device is closed, and a theoretical actual mass flow rate in the high-pressure line system is determined on the basis of the detected pressure change. The target actual mass flow rate in the high-pressure line system is compared with the determined fuel mass flow rate demand of the consumption system, and a fault signal is generated by a control device when the target actual mass flow rate deviates from the fuel mass flow rate demand by more than a threshold value.
