VEHICULAR FUEL TANK

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compactly dispose a fuel supplying passage for supplying fuel from the outside of a chamber storing a pump module of an automobile fuel tank to the inside, with a simple structure. SOLUTION: The fuel supplying passage for supplying fuel outside of the chamber 20 to the inside of the chamber 20, is composed of a cover element 31 welded on an opening 11f formed on an upper wall 11c of a tank main body 11, a first fuel suction pipe 36 suspended from the cover element 31 into the tank main body 11, and a second fuel suction pipe 38 connecting the first fuel suction pipe 36 to the inside of the chamber 20 through the outside of the tank main body 11. The cover element 31 is fixed by a cap with a screw, and as compared with a case provided with a transfer pump at the middle of the second fuel suction pipe 38, projecting articles at an upper part of the tank main body 11 are decreased to improve a mounting property. Only first fuel suction pipe 36 is suspended from the cover element 31, so that troublesome assembling of piping inside a fuel tank T can be minimized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
