A gas feed device for detecting a trouble of a gas pressure sensor installed on the gas feed device, wherein the trouble of pressure sensors (52) to (58) is judged on whether or not a gas pressure detected by the pressure sensors (52) to (58) connected to branch pipes (32) to (38) is within an allowable limit when stop valves (42) to (48) connected to branch pipes (32) to (38) connected to the access ports of hydrogen absorbing alloy tanks (22) to (28), whereby any special operation is not required for the detection of the trouble because, when the gas feed device (20) is mounted on a vehicle, the trouble of the pressure sensors (52) to (58) can be detected by fully opening the fully closed stop valves (42) to (48) when the vehicle is started, and normally the trouble can be judged by the mounted equipment. |
