FUEL SUPPLY CONTAINER, AND FUEL CELL SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably supply fuel to a fuel cell or a reformer and stably generate electric power in the fuel cell without using electric power for a liquid feeding pump or the like.

SOLUTION: A fuel supply container 1 is equipped with a fuel passage 40 for guiding fuel to the reformer for reforming fuel and generating hydrogen; a first fuel storage part 20 for storing fuel; a fuel pushing out part 30 for pushing out fuel stored in the first fuel storage part 20 to the fuel passage 40; and a flow rate control part 50 for controlling the flow rate of fuel by varying the cross section of the fuel passage 40. The fuel pushing out part 30 has a mechanism decreasing the pushing out force of fuel to the fuel passage 40 with decrease in the amount of fuel stored in the first fuel storage part 20. The flow rate control part 50 increases the cross section of the fuel passage 40 with decrease in the pushing out force.
