An overhanging siphon having an opening in the top thereof provides communication between compartments. A fuel inlet pipe and a fuel suction pipe are communicated with a first compartment so that the supply of fuel into the fuel tank and the suction of fuel from the fuel tank are conducted through the first compartment. A valve such as a float valve is provided on the siphon opening.
