Detect and stop or start (restart) the supply of water electrolysis gas and gas fossil fuel into the mixing tank, control the supply amount, and the predetermined component ratio, and repeat the mixing of the water electrolysis gas and gas fossil fuel. Generated by executing .

The water electrolysis gas mixed fuel according to the present invention is generated by performing control of stopping or starting (restarting) the supply of water electrolysis gas and gas fossil fuel into the mixing tank by detecting the change in the internal pressure of the mixing tank, Also, the control of stopping the supply of water electrolysis gas into the mixing tank detects that the internal pressure of the mixing tank has reached the same pressure as the internal pressure of the mixing tank set as the supply stop condition for the fossil fuel mixing tank. It is generated by detecting that the internal pressure of the mixing tank has dropped below the set internal pressure, and controlling the start (resumption) of the supply of water electrolysis gas into the mixing tank.
