Abstract
A fuel tank vent pipe is disposed in part on the upper side of a rear floor panel and passes through openings formed in the rear floor panel and a wheel house inner for connection with a fuel tank and an inlet end of a filler neck. A receptacle-like protector unit encloses a space which is sealingly separated from an adjacent space above the rear floor panel. The aforementioned part of the vent pipe is disposed in the space enclosed by the protector unit. The filler neck has a portion bent rearwardly so as to pass under a rear cross member at its bent-up portion.
