PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel-supply apparatus in which fuel remaining in a pipe does not drop from a nozzle, when a solenoid pump operation is stopped. SOLUTION: A magnetic attraction device 5 is provided between the solenoid pump 2 sucking kerosene from an oil tank 1 and a nozzle 3 feeding kerosene to a combustion part. During the operation of the pump 2, the attraction device 5 is energized, and the volume of a variable capacity chamber is made small. The operation of the pump 2 is stopped at shutoff time, and the kerosene supply to the nozzle 3 is stopped, then the attraction device 5 is de-energized and the volume of the chamber is increased to suck the kerosene in the pipe 4 into the chamber. Thus, kerosene in the nozzle 3 is returned to the pump 2, the oil does not escape from the nozzle, further the offensive odor does not generate from unburned kerosene escaping at a shutoff time.
