Fuel supply unit for vehicle

The fuel feeding device includes a fuel supplying tank, the exclusive nozzle for fuel connected to the lower portion of the fuel supplying tank and the nozzle, which also acts as an air releasing passage. When the fuel feeding device is pushed up over the fuel tank, the exclusive nozzle for supplying fuel and the nozzle which also acts as an air releasing passageway are opened or closed by the valves. Concurrently, the exclusive nozzle for fuel is applied as a fuel supplying passage and an inside area of the nozzle also acting as air releasing passageway is made such that about 1/3 of a sectional area of the passage is partitioned to make the air releasing passage and remaining about 2/3 of nozzle is applied as a fuel passage, where the fuel is supplied from it and at the same time air in the fuel tank is discharged out of the air releasing passage.
