PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance effect of suppressing fuel leakage when letting fuel vapor remaining in an upper end area inside a fuel tank outflow to the outside of a tank via a gas-liquid separator. SOLUTION: An end-part duct part 50 is fitted/mounted with a fuel shielding body 52 composed of U-shaped left/right bodies 52L, 52R mutually joined/fixed at their end faces. Shielding plates 54L, 54R are projected obliquely upward from lower sides of penetration holes 53 continuing to penetration holes 51 as basic points. These shielding plates are vertically/alternately provided along a duct direction of the end-part duct part 50. The shielding plates 54L, 54R form fuel storage parts 55 at front areas of the penetration holes 53. The fuel entering the end-part duct part 50 is stored in the fuel storage parts 55, and only extra fuel exceeding the storage amount passes. The fuel vapor reaches the gas-liquid separator via vapor flow passages 56 between the shielding plates without any problem. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
