Abstract
An abnormality diagnosis apparatus is an apparatus that diagnoses a fuel leak from a fuel passage to circulate a liquefied gas fuel between a fuel tank and an internal combustion engine. The abnormality diagnosis apparatus includes: a control device; a low-pressure temperature sensor arranged at a discharge port of a feed pump; and a high-pressure temperature sensor arranged at an overflow fuel emission port of a supply pump. The control device detects a decrease in the temperature of the liquefied gas fuel at the overflow fuel emission port on the basis of a comparison between the measured values of the two temperature sensors, thereby determining that the fuel leak is caused in a section from the discharge port to the overflow fuel emission port.
