A housing has a housing main body and an outlet port. The housing main body includes a cylindrical housing inner wall that defines an internal space therein. The outlet port fluidly connects the internal space and an outside of the housing main body to each other. The valve has a valve body rotatable about an rotation axis along a rotation axis of the cylindrical housing inner wall. The valve is configured to selectively open and close the outlet port depending on a rotation position of the valve. The housing inner wall is formed such that a distance between the housing inner wall and the axis of the housing inner wall varies in a circumferential direction.

Valve device

A fuel supply device, which is mounted on a fuel tank, includes a lid member that covers an opening of the fuel tank, arm members mounted on the lid member, and a component mounted on the lid member via the arm members. The arm members and the component have an engaging structure which engages each other by elastic deformation of the arm members. The arm members are made of a resin material having a higher elastic modulus than the resin material forming the lid member.

Fuel supply device

A fuel supply device includes a flange, a pump unit, a supporting pillar, and a boss. The flange is attached to an opening portion of a fuel tank. The supporting pillar supports a sub tank such that the sub tank is positioned closer to and away from the flange. The boss is fixed at the flange and an end of the supporting pillar is inserted into the boss. The boss is made of a material different from that of the flange. The boss includes a stress concentration portion that is preferentially broken when a force equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied to an end portion of the supporting pillar in an axis perpendicular direction.
