Abstract
A gas supply system includes: high-pressure tanks having at least different longitudinal lengths; supply pipes each connected to corresponding one of the high-pressure tanks; a supply-side manifold to which the supply pipes are connected; solenoid valves disposed in the respective supply pipes; a first pressure sensor configured to acquire a pressure related to an internal pressure of the high-pressure tanks; a second pressure sensor configured to acquire a pressure at the supply-side manifold; and a control device that controls the solenoid valve corresponding to the high-pressure tank, among the high-pressure tanks, having the largest ratio of the longitudinal length to a short-side width, to open first when a value obtained by subtracting the pressure detected by the second pressure sensor from the pressure detected by the first pressure sensor is larger than a threshold at the time of activation of the gas supply system.
