Abstract
To exert combustion control using a CNG injector, a first cutoff valve is opened. On condition that the first cutoff valve is opened, the presence or absence of fuel leakage in a high-pressure side path is determined based on a drop in a detected value of a pressure in the high-pressure side path (high-pressure side detected value PH). Inserting a nozzle for CNG filling into a filling opening causes a phenomenon where the high-pressure side detected value PH rises once and then drops. If the high-pressure side detected value PH rises at a specified rate or more, a CPU stops determination as to the presence or absence of a fuel leakage malfunction for a specified period of time.
