Abstract
A fuel inlet is disposed on the upper part of a fuel tank which is protruded upwardly and a connecting portion of a return pipe is located which is also protruded on the upper part of the fuel tank being separated from the fuel inlet and an air reservoir is disposed within the connecting portion of the return pipe. When fuel is poured through the fuel inlet, fuel will not go into the air reservoir. Therefore, vibrations given to the fuel tank does not cause the return pipe blocked at its lower end, allowing overflown fuel to be returned smoothly back to the fuel tank.
