ABSTRACT:
A fuel vapor treatment apparatus connects with a fuel tank, which produces fuel vapor to be purged into an intake passage of an internal combustion engine through a purge passage. The fuel vapor treatment apparatus includes a state measuring unit that includes a measurement passage provided separately from the purge passage. When the measurement passage is blocked from the intake passage, the state measuring unit measures a state of fuel vapor by detecting a physical quantity of the fuel vapor in the measurement passage. The physical quantity is correlative to the state of fuel vapor. The fuel vapor treatment apparatus further includes a diagnosis unit for diagnosing a malfunction of at least one of components of the state measuring unit.
