Abstract
A fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine including a fuel tank having a resin liner. The fuel tank is constructed so as to withstand refueling of compressed gaseous fuel. Fuel filled in the fuel tank is supplied to the engine through a fuel supply passage. When the pressure within the fuel tank drops below a predetermined value, the supply of fuel to the engine is inhibited.
