First Claim
1. A fuel filling system comprising:
- a vehicle having a tank which stores a fuel, and a tank information processing unit which acquires tank information indicating a use state of the tank during fuel filling to subject the tank information to a predetermined processing; and
a fuel filling device which fills the tank of the vehicle with the fuel,the fuel filling system being configured to fill the tank with the fuel based on the tank information,wherein the tank information processing unit is started by the supply of power from a power source external to the vehicle during the fuel filling,wherein the tank information processing unit includes counting means for counting the times the tank has been filled with fuel, and acquires, as the tank information, the number of fuel filling operations counted by the counting means, andwherein the counting means detects that the nozzle has been connected to the fuel filling connector of the vehicle during the fuel filling, and that power is supplied to the counting means from a power source external to the vehicle, and adds the number of the fuel filling times.
