The invention provides a shutter-operated fuel filler port closing apparatus in which a countermeasure for static electricity is applied. The shutter-operated fuel filler port closing apparatus includes a dust cover which is capable of tilting for closing up a fuel filler port and a hinged haft for the dust cover which have electrical conductivity, and the hinged shaft and a filler neck are electrically connected by an electrically conductive leaf spring, so that static electricity is discharged from the dust cover to the filler neck through the hinged shaft and the electrically conductive leaf spring. Since the dust cover is opened always with a hand or hands for fueling, the static electricity can be discharged inevitably to the filler neck through actions to open the dust cover, so that spark discharge can be prevented.
