The check valve is disposed in the fuel channel, with one end supported by an elastic member to be pressed to close the fuel channel. The cam is disposed within the check valve, and the cam rod connects the cam with the check valve and controls opening/closing of the check valve in accordance with rotation of the cam. A converting mechanism has both ends connected to the cam and a float of the LPG bombe converting vertical motion of the float into rotational motion of the cam.
