Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell unit with an anode-side feeding and removal pipe for feeding and removing a hydrogen-containing medium to and from the fuel cell unit and a cathode-side feeding and removal pipe for feeding and removing an oxygen-containing medium to and from the fuel cell unit. The fuel cell system also includes a combustible-agent tank for storing a combustible agent from which hydrogen is obtained for supplying the fuel cell unit in a gas generating system. At least one adsorbing device is provided for adsorbing combustible-agent vapors exhaled from the combustible-agent tank. An input side of the at least one adsorbing device is connected with the combustible-agent tank and an output side of the at least one adsorbing device is connected at least temporarily with the cathode-side feeding pipe of the fuel cell unit and/or upstream of a catalytically active component in the gas generating system.
