A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell (1), a control portion (100), a combusting portion (105), an evaporating portion (2), a reforming portion (3), a tank (4) and a supply passage (8) connecting the outlet port (4) of the tank to the inlet port (2i) of the evaporating portion. A water sensor and a water supply source are located in said supply passage. When the fuel cell starts, the control portion sets the level of water in the supply passage: based on a detection signal of the water sensor, it monitors the water level and instructs the water supply source to set the water level at a predetermined distance away from the inlet port of the evaporating portion, thereby leaving a predetermined void in the part of the supply passage closest to the evaporating portion. |
