A high-pressure vessel includes a liner, an outer layer, a ferrule, and a seal member. The liner has a cylindrical shape, and is made of a first resin. The outer layer is joined to an outer peripheral surface of the liner, and is made of a second resin having a linear expansion coefficient that is lower than a linear expansion coefficient of the first resin. The ferrule is made of metal, is at least partly disposed radially inward of an inner peripheral surface of the liner, and is configured to provide communication between an internal space of the high-pressure vessel and an outside of the high-pressure vessel. The seal member is disposed between the inner peripheral surface of the liner and the ferrule, and is configured to seal a gap between the inner peripheral surface of the liner and the ferrule.

A decrease in cost is devised at an exhaust treatment device that purifies exhaust from an internal engine by a catalyst that is heated from a catalyst support that generates heat by being energized, and that returns some of exhaust that has been purified to the internal combustion engine. A cooling member is provided at a portion of an exhaust pipe that is between an engine and an upstream catalytic converter, and a circulation pipe is branched-off from between the upstream catalytic converter and a vibration cut-off member that is at a downstream side.
