Abstract: When shifting to the single combustion mode, an electromagnetic opening-and-closing valve V1 is closed so as to block a gas fuel. Then, an electromagnetic opening-and-closing valve V3 is opened so as to discharge the gas fuel remaining in a gas fuel supply path to the outside of the system. Then, an electromagnetic opening-and-closing valve V2 is opened so as to introduce a replacement gas from a replacement gas reservoir tank to the gas fuel supply path, thereby replacing the contents inside the gas fuel supply path with the replacement gas. After completing the replacement, the electromagnetic opening-and-closing valves V2 and V3 are closed. Next, the electromagnetic opening-and-closing valve V2 is opened and the replacement gas is injected from the gas fuel injectors to a combustion chamber.
