<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the diverted use of a fuel supply device between fuel tanks of different shapes, restraining the displacement of a sub-tank at the time of fixing a lid-member while enhancing the sub-tank's capability to follow the altered form of a fuel tank, with regard to the fuel supply device that has a sub-tank with a fuel-pool formed at the in-take port side of a fuel pump within a fuel tank, and a lid-member that closes the opening at the upper part of the fuel tank, wherein the sub-tank and the lid-member are arranged to become closer or separated each other and coupled while being energized toward separating directions. <P>SOLUTION: The upper end part of a connection mechanism 35 and the lid-member 31 are coupled, in the vicinity of the opening 16, mutually tiltable relative to each other, so that the angles of the lid-member 31 against the sub-tank 26 and connection mechanism 35 become adjustable, in the full area within a mutually relative displacement range of the lid-member 31 of the connection mechanism 35 and the sub-tank 26. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
