側に開口を有する溝部２０が形成される。 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the rear fender panel 1 is formed with a fuel filler port 3 that is closed with a filler lid 2 as in the conventional case, and a cup-shaped filler base 4 is welded around the periphery of the fuel filler port 3. At the same time, a fuel tank (not shown) is installed in the opening 5 provided at the center of the bottom of the filler base 4.
A filler tube 6 is inserted which communicates with the. In this embodiment, between the filler base 4 and the wheel house outer panel 7, a substantially cylindrical support member 14 is provided as a fixing member on the vehicle body side.
is interposed. This support member 14 is arranged between an inner cylindrical body 16 having a fixed flange 15 at one end, which is fixed with a bolt 8 between the flange of the opening 5 of the filler base 4, and the periphery of the opening of the wheel house outer panel 7. It has an adhesive flange 8 at one end that is adhesively fixed by a ring-shaped sealing member 17, and an outer cylinder 19 formed at the other end so as to cover a part of the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 16. ,
The other end of the outer cylindrical body 19 is welded to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical body 16. Therefore, there is a filler tube 6 between the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 16 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 19.
A groove portion 20 having an opening on the side is formed.

4 and inserting the tip wall portion 23 of the cap protector 21 into the sealing material 24, the tip wall portion 23 is supported by the elastic action of the sealing material 24, and the injection portion is supported by the support member 14. This results in a supported structure. Note that the sealing material 24 may be an adhesive that does not harden. The tip wall portion 23 of the cap protector 21 can be attached to and detached from the sealing material 24. Furthermore, an insertion groove into which the tip wall portion 23 is inserted may be formed in advance in the sealing material 24.

できる。 Therefore, when the rear fender panel 1 or the like is significantly deformed outward due to a collision, the support member 14 fixed to the filler base 4 is also pulled outward at the same time. Therefore, the filler tube 6 moves relatively in the direction of arrow A and the cap protector 21
The tip wall portion 23 of the support member 14 comes out of the groove portion 20 of the support member 14. After coming out, the injection part of the filler tube 6 falls off together with the cap protector 21.
Therefore, the cap protector 21 can prevent the filler cap 13 from interfering with the vehicle body side member, and can reliably prevent the filler cap 13 from being damaged or coming off.

This does not occur, and the sealing material 24 can attenuate the transmission of vibrations from the filler base 4. Incidentally, the cap protector 21 is made of metal or plastic with excellent rigidity.

を容易にすることができる。 As explained above, according to the filler tube injection part support structure according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the filler cap from interfering with the vehicle body side members due to the deformation of the vehicle body during a collision. It is possible to reliably prevent fuel leakage. In addition, the filler tube has sufficient strength to withstand loads in the radial direction and is designed to escape loads in the axial direction of the filler tube, avoiding interference with the fuel tank side and eliminating unnecessary loads. This eliminates the need for additional time and facilitates the design of the injection portion of the filler tube.
