Abstract
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.
