<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent air bubbles from entering into a fuel container when a liquid fuel is filled and prevent air bubbles from being newly generated. <P>SOLUTION: This liquid fuel filling apparatus includes a feeding flow passage 10 for feeding liquid fuel supplied to a fuel container 51, a discharging flow passage 20 for discharging liquid fuel discharged from the fuel container 51 and a discharging device 22 for discharging liquid fuel from the fuel container 51. The feeding flow passage 10 is provided with a liquid fuel feeding device 12 and a liquid fuel degasifier 13. The degasified liquid fuel is fed out by the feeding device 12 to the fuel container 51, thereby air bubbles in the feeding flow passage 10 placed at the downstream side of the degasifier 13 are discharged into the fuel container 51 and then the air bubbles in the fuel container 51 are discharged to the discharging device 22 together with the liquid fuel within the fuel container 51 and after this operation, the newly degasified liquid fuel is fed out by the feeding device 12 to the fuel container 51 to make the liquid fuel fill the fuel container 51. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
