Abstract
A fuel supply device includes a surface level detection device that detects a surface level of fuel through use of a float. A supply main body is placed in a fuel tank through an insertion opening and supplies the fuel to an outside. A surface level detection unit, which includes the float, is rotatable relative to the supply main body, and a rotational range of the surface level detection unit is set to include at least an inserting direction of the supply main body. A distal end part of the surface level detection unit, which is furthermost from an imaginary rotational center axis in the surface level detection unit, is placed on an upper side of an imaginary plane, which includes the imaginary rotational center axis and a center of gravity of the surface level detection unit, in a rotational direction of the surface level detection unit.
