Abstract
A high pressure tank of a high pressure tank apparatus includes: a resin-made liner; a reinforced layer; a supplying/discharging hole to which a supplying/discharging flow path is connected via a connecting section; and a supplying/discharging-side lead-out hole that leads out a fluid interposing between the liner and the reinforced layer. A leaked fluid storage section is capable of storing a leaked fluid that has leaked from the connecting section. A supplying/discharging-side discharge flow path is provided independently from the leaked fluid storage section, and, when an opening/closing valve opens, discharges to the air a temporary release fluid that has been led out via the supplying/discharging-side lead-out hole. A control section, when it has judged, based on a detection result of a detecting unit, that there is a condition enabling the temporary release fluid to be discharged, opens the opening/closing valve.
