Abstract: An evaporated fuel treatment device is provided with an electric-operated valve, a positive-pressure relief valve mechanism and a negative-pressure relief valve mechanism. The electric-operated valve has a valve body for opening/closing a vapor passage allowing a fuel tank and a canister, and adjusts the flow rate by electrical control. The positive-pressure relief valve mechanism opens when the pressure at the fuel tank side has a value greater than or equal to a predetermined positive pressure value. The negative-pressure relief valve mechanism opens when the pressure at the fuel tank side has a value less than or equal to a predetermined negative pressure value. The electric-operated valve is configured such that the valve body is moved in the valve opening direction by the pressure at the fuel tank side that is higher, by a predetermined value, than the valve opening pressure for the positive-pressure relief valve mechanism.
