PURPOSE: To promote the improvement of startability, by controlling a production device, which produces methylether using methanol and sulfuric acid to react at a predetermined temperature, in accordance with a starting condition and methylether producing condition.
CONSTITUTION: A methylether production device 15, comprising a sulfuric acid tank 12, water separating chamber 13 and a methylether storage chamber 14, supplies methanol through a methanol supplying pipe 20 and a methanol supplying valve 19 to be heated through a heating electromagnetic wave oscillator 17 and an electromagnetic wave shielding copper made net 18, and generated ethylether is supplied to an engine through a supplying pipe 30. A control unit 24 detects a starting condition and a methylether producing condition being based on detection values from a temperature sensor 24 in the vicinity of a carburetor, key switch 27, pressure sensor 25 in the storage chamber 14 and a water detecting sensor 26 in the water separating chamber 13, controlling a methylether supply valve 23 and a high frequency oscillating circuit 29 for heating.
