PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure of a fuel tank having a liquid level sensor that is soft and flexible, and stands by itself in a liquid in the tank. SOLUTION: A liquid level sensor 14 is made of a material having flexibility. A lower part of the liquid level sensor 14 is fixed onto a pump module 16 and held along the outer peripheral surface of the pump module 16 as a fixed part 14A. A part of the liquid level sensor 14 protruded higher than the pump module 16 is a movable part 14B that can be elastically deformed by the flexibility of the liquid level sensor 14. In assembly work, even when the upper end of the liquid level sensor 14 interferes with a protrusion 26, the liquid level sensor 14 bends and passes below the protrusion 26 as shown in Fig. 2(B). Because the movable part 14B, which is a part that is not joined with the pump module 16, that is, the part protruded higher than the pump module 16, is capable of elastic deformation as mentioned above. Accordingly, the assembly work can be performed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
