Abstract
A fuel cell system of the present invention includes: a fuel cell () configured to generate electric power using a fuel gas and an oxidizing gas; an anode off gas channel () through which an anode off gas discharged from an anode () of the fuel cell () flows; a gas-liquid separator () disposed on the anode off gas channel () to separate moisture from the anode off gas, and including a water reservoir () configured to store the separated moisture as water; a temperature detector () configured to detect a temperature of the water reservoir (); and an operation allowing device () configured not to allow an operation of the fuel cell system in a case where the temperature detected by the temperature detector () is equal to or higher than a first threshold that is higher than a standard ambient temperature.
