ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank device has a canister suitably mounted inside a fuel tank. The fuel tank device includes a tank body in which fuel is stored, a filler tube connected at one end to the tank body for supplying the fuel into the tank body, and a canister hung and supported by the edge of an opening formed through the tank body via a support member and a sealing member, for adsorbing and storing evaporative fuel generated in the tank body. The canister is mounted entirely within the tank body and located so as not to be directly exposed to the fuel when the fuel is being supplied from the filler tube.
