Abstract
A method for operating a fuel cell system includes detecting a pressure in a fuel supply path located downstream of a pressure reducing valve using a pressure sensor. Whether or not the pressure detected by the pressure sensor exceeds a predetermined threshold pressure is determined. The pressure in the fuel supply path located downstream of the pressure reducing is reduced when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor exceeds the predetermined threshold pressure.
