ABSTRACT:
A fuel filler tube is secured to an inside constructional member of a vehicle with its fuel inlet mouth portion spacedly received in a cup-shaped member secured to a vehicle outer panel. An outwardly projected bumper member having a considerable size is mounted or formed on the fuel filler tube in the vicinity of the fuel inlet mouth of the tube. Thus, upon a vehicle collision inducing a considerable displacement of the filler tube relative to the cup-shaped member, initial collision occurs between the bumper member and the cup-shaped member thereby suppressing the collision of the filler cap with the cup-shaped member.
