Abstract

A gas supply system (1) for supplying a hydrogen gas to a fuel cell (2) from a plurality of hydrogen tanks (11, 21, 31, 41) is structured to detect a leakage of the hydrogen gas. Each one of the respective tanks is selectively used. A flow rate of the hydrogen gas within a hydrogen gas supply pipe (50) is compared with a reference value so as to detect the leakage of the hydrogen gas. A flow rate sensor (74) is arranged in the hydrogen gas supply pipe at a position between the tank (41) that is the most distant from the fuel cell and the tank (31) that is the second most distant from the fuel cell. The hydrogen gas is supplied only from the tank (41) to the fuel cell so as to detect (74) the flow rate of the hydrogen gas.
