Abstract:
A control unit diagnoses a failure of a fuel storage unit that seals a fuel tank and a processing unit that processes fuel evaporative gas in the fuel tank. A first pressure detection unit of the fuel storage unit detects the pressure of the fuel tank. A second pressure detection unit of the fuel storage unit is disposed at a position different from the first pressure detection unit, and detects the pressure of the fuel tank. The control unit specifies a failure portion of the fuel storage unit and the processing unit based on a change in either one or both of a first pressure value detected by the first pressure detection unit and a second pressure value detected by the second pressure detection unit when the pressure of the fuel tank is changed.
