Abstract
A fuel storing device for an automobile, having a flexible separator means disposed in a fuel storage container for separating the inside of the fuel storage container into a fuel storage portion and a space portion, comprises a fuel suction pipe inlet opening keeping means for keeping the opening for withdrawing fuel open in said fuel storage portion. The fuel suction pipe inlet opening keeping means prevents the inlet opening of the fuel suction pipe from being covered, and thereby all of the fuel can be sucked while any fuel is left in the device.
