Abstract
An evaporated fuel treating apparatus and method of treating evaporated fuel, that can re-gasify adsorbed fuel within a canister and supply it to an engine, are obtained. A compressor, a first control valve, a storage container and a second control valve are provided at a supply delivery piping that communicates a canister with an engine air intake tube, in that order from the canister side. By driving the compressor, vapor within the canister is fed to the storage container, canister internal pressure is lowered, and gasification of a fuel component adsorbed by an adsorbent is promoted. Further, evaporated fuel stored in the storage container is forcibly fed to an engine by internal pressure of the storage container.
