Abstract

A fuel control system for feedback controlling a purge gas flow rate as well as an air-to-fuel ratio which learns the concentration of fuel of a purge gas based on an average of air-to-fuel ratio control values at adjacent reversal there of between an upward tendency and a downward tendency and determines the content of fuel of the purge gas based on the purge gas concentration by which the amount of fuel delivered by an injector is reduced.
