Abstract:
A fuel tank system includes a fuel storage unit, a processing unit, and a control unit. The control unit performs a first failure diagnosis of diagnosing a failure of the fuel storage unit in a state where the sealing valve is closed. When the control unit diagnoses that the fuel storage unit is normal, the control unit performs a second failure diagnosis of diagnosing a failure of a purge valve and a bypass valve by causing a pressure generation unit to generate pressure in a state where the sealing valve is closed. When there is a possibility that the purge valve and the bypass valve are in closed-sticking, the control unit performs a third failure diagnosis of specifying a failure in any one of closed-sticking of the purge valve and closed-sticking of the bypass valve by opening the sealing valve.
