A canister includes an adsorbent, an air layer and an air hole. An ECU obtains a physical status quantity Mgair representing the vapor stored state of the air layer, a physical status quantity Mgcan representing the fuel vapor stored state of the adsorbent, and a physical status quantity Fvptnk representing the vapor generating state in the fuel tank. The ECU then estimates a total vapor flow rate Fvpall purged to an intake system of the engine by using a physical model related to the vapor behaviors. The physical model is based on the obtained physical status quantities. The ECU corrects the fuel supply amount to the engine according to the estimated flow rate Fvpall. As a result, the air-fuel ratio feedback control is readily prevented from being influenced by the fuel vapor purging.
