An evaporated fuel treating device includes a fuel tank, a canister containing a fuel adsorbent, a vent pipe, a purge pipe, a purge valve, and a reforming catalyst. The fuel adsorbent captures evaporated fuel that is generated in the fuel tank. The evaporated fuel flows into the canister through the vent pipe. The fuel captured in the canister flows into an intake passage of an engine through the purge pipe. The purge valve is interposed in the purge pipe and opens when the captured fuel is introduced into the intake passage. The reforming catalyst is disposed in a space where the reforming catalyst comes into contact with the evaporated fuel that has not reached the canister. The reforming catalyst is configured to promote a chemical change from unsaturated hydrocarbon to alcohol.

A structure of a metal fiber constituting a filter is set to a structure in which a cross-sectional shape of the metal fiber is a curved or bent shape and an outer member and an inner member having a linear expansion coefficient greater than that of the outer member are bonded to each other. Accordingly, the metal fiber is deformed to warp to the outer member side in the length direction thereof when the temperature of the metal fiber increases. When a amount of deformation per unit temperature of the metal fiber is defined as a deformation rate, a amount of change of the deformation rate per unit time changes at a predetermined deformation temperature with the increase in temperature. The deformation temperature is set to a temperature higher than a target temperature of a filter regenerating process.

A gel which contains a component of a catalyst is prepared. The gel and another gel are arranged in layers at a position which faces open ends of exhaust flow passages of a wall flow-type particulate filter. Next, a pusher is used to push and pack the gel and other gel through the open ends to the insides of the exhaust flow passages. Next, the particulate filter is made to dry to thereby make the partition walls carry the catalyst on their surfaces or in their micropores.

Micropore zones ZMI are defined at upstream sides of partition wallsof a particulate filter and macropore zones ZMA are defined at downstream sides of partition walls. The pore size of the partition walls at the micropore zones is set so that the particulate matter and the ash can be trapped by the partition walls at the micropore zones, while the pore size of the partition walls at the macropore zones is set so that the ash can pass through the partition walls at the macropore zones. When a quantity of trapped particulate matter is smaller than a limit quantity, control for increasing gas which temporarily increases the flow rate of the gas which flows into the particulate filter in order to remove the ash from the particulate filter, is performed.
