Abstract

An engine apparatus includes an engine, a supercharger, an evaporated fuel treatment device, a controller and the engine apparatus is configured to determine a purge classification whether the evaporated fuel is a first purge in which the evaporated fuel flows dominantly in a first purge passage or a second purge in which the evaporated fuel flows dominantly in a second purge passage based on a relative ejector pressure that is a pressure of a suction port of the ejector and a value obtained by adding an offset amount based on a cross-sectional area of the second purge passage with respect to a cross-sectional area of the first purge passage to a pressure behind a throttle valve that is the pressure on a downstream side of the throttle valve of the intake pipe.
