ABSTRACT:
A bracket which supports flow control valves within a fuel tank, is provided with impact absorbing portions for absorbing the impact by deformation. The impact absorbing portions include first to fourth bending portions which are disposed in parallel along an impact input direction, which each have a different rigidity and which are connected by supporting portions. Accordingly, an impact force at a time of collision is not directly applied to the valves.
