A changeover valve is opened, reference pressure Pb is detected, a monitoring timer is set to 0, a purge process is started, the changeover valve is closed, a pump is operated, and the monitoring timer t is started. Then, a canister internal pressure Pc is detected, a pressure deviation ΔPc is calculated from the reference pressure Pb and the canister pressure Pc, and it is determined if there is abnormality such as a leak or obstruction in a fuel evaporative gas treatment portion when the pressure deviation ΔPc is a first threshold ΔP1 or higher. It is determined that there is a leak when the pressure deviation ΔPc is less than a second threshold ΔP2, and it is determined that there is an obstruction when the pressure deviation ΔPc is the second threshold ΔP2 or higher.
