A generator capable of suppressing leakage of a liquid fuel includes a fuel tank that stores the liquid fuel. The fuel tank has a fuel inlet, a tank bulge portion that has the fuel inlet and that bulges to a position higher than the fuel inlet, and a breather path formed of a pipe member communicating between an inside and an outside of the fuel tank. The tank bulge portion is provided with an isolated body forming an isolated space that is isolated from an internal space of the fuel tank. An end part on one side of the pipe member is accommodated inside the isolated body.

Generator

A generator that suppresses leakage of a liquid fuel. The generator includes a fuel tank that stores the liquid fuel. The fuel tank has a fuel inlet and a breather path formed of a pipe member communicating between an inside and an outside of the fuel tank. An isolated body forms an isolated space that is isolated from an internal space of the fuel tank is provided inside the fuel tank. The isolated body is provided with a breather room and a chamber room that are formed by partitioning the isolated space by a partition wall. A ventilation hole allows the internal space and the chamber room to communicate with each other. An inflow hole allows the breather room and the chamber room to communicate with each other. An end part on one side of the pipe member is disposed inside the breather room.

In a generator including a fuel tank that stores liquid fuel, the fuel tank includes a fuel inlet and a breather passage formed by a pipe member through which an inside and outside of the fuel tank communicate with each other, and the pipe member is provided with a valve that blocks the breather passage at normal time and opens the breather passage by a pressure of a predetermined value or higher.
