Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-leakage device for a hydrogen storage container. A sealing assembly is connected to a right side of a tank body of an anti-leakage device, an impurity removing assembly is connected to a lower side of the tank body, and the impurity removing assembly is connected to the sealing assembly.
