Abstract
A filter for use in a gasoline tank comprises a filter body provided in the upper portion thereof with an insertion hole for permitting passage of a suction pipe possessing a radially bulged engaging portion, resilient arms extended directly from the upper edge of the filter body or from an upper lid to be fitted to the filter body, and a retaining member supported in position by the resilient arms. The suction pipe can be securely retained at a proper position on the filter without entailing any unwanted motion within the gasoline tank by simply inserting the suction pipe having the radially bulged engaging portion through the insertion hole of the filter body.
