A fuel cartridge (10) has a fuel container section (11), a fuel supplying port (12) for supplying liquid fuel reserved in the fuel container section (11) to a fuel cell body (30) therethrough, a primary cell (13) for supplying electric power for starting electric power generation of the fuel cell body (30), and an electrode configuration section (14) for supplying the electric power of the primary cell (13) to the fuel cell body (30). The fuel cell body (30) has a fuel accepting port (36) corresponding to the fuel supplying port (12), an electric contact section (37) corresponding to the electrode configuration section (14), a power generating device (31), a fuel supplying pump (33) for supplying liquid fuel from the fuel accepting port (36) to the power generating device (31), and a control device (32) for controlling so that the fuel supplying pump (33) is driven by the electric power of the primary cell (13). Even if electric power cannot be supplied from an auxiliary power supply of the fuel cell body, a fuel cell system can be started up simply and rapidly.
