Abstract
A gap amount () between a liner () and a reinforcement layer () before filling gas into a tank () is calculated on the basis of a tank pressure and a tank temperature in the tank (). It is predicted whether a load larger than or equal to an allowable amount acts on the liner () by the gas filling on the basis of the calculated gap amount (). When it is predicted that the load larger than or equal to the allowable amount acts on the liner (), a filling flow rate at which the gas is filled into the tank () is limited in comparison with a case where it is predicted that the load larger than or equal to the allowable amount does not act on the liner ().
