A fuel modification device is provided with: a first storage unit and a second storage unit for storing fuel of an internal combustion engine; a reformer that reforms the fuel supplied from the first storage unit in accordance with the temperature; a temperature adjustment unit that adjusts the temperature of the reformer; a first flow path that guides the fuel reformed by the reformer to the gas phase of the first reservoir; a second flow path that guides the fuel reformed by the reformer to the second reservoir; a switching valve that opens either the first flow path or the second flow path; an outside air temperature detection unit that detects the outside air temperature; and a controller that controls the switching valve and the temperature adjustment unit on the basis of the detected outside air temperature. The controller controls the switching valve to open the first flow path when the internal combustion engine is started and the detected outside air temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature, a
