Abstract
A leakage detecting device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a pump, a leakage determination portion and a determination resetting portion. The first sensor, which is provided in a first passage connecting a fuel tank to a canister, detects density of vaporized fuel generated in the fuel tank. The second sensor, which is provided in a third passage connecting the canister to the pump, detects pressure in the third passage. The pump is provided between the third passage and an atmospheric passage. The leakage determination portion determines whether there is leakage in a vaporized fuel processing system or not, based on a time-variable amount of the pressure detected by the second sensor. The determination resetting portion resets a leakage determination result of the leakage determination portion, based on a time-variable amount of the density and the time-variable amount of the pressure.
