A high pressure gas supplying system comprises a supplying line 4 for supplying high pressure gas from high pressure tanks 3a,3b. The supplying line 4 includes a supply piping line 30 connected with the high pressure tank 3a, a supply piping line 31 connected with the high pressure tank 3b, and a piping joint section 32 connecting these supply piping lines 30 and 31. A check valve 34a is provided in the supply piping line 30 to establish a flowing passage on condition that the internal pressure of the high pressure tank 3a is higher than the pressure at the piping joint section 32. And a check valve 34b is provided in the supply piping line 31 to establish a flowing passage on condition that the internal pressure of the high pressure tank 3b is higher than the pressure at the piping joint section 32.
