In a typical fuel chamber, a fuel chamber main body, a jet nozzle member having a front end portion inserted into a hole portion communicating an inner portion with an outer portion of the fuel chamber main body, a cover body forming a pressure reduction chamber decompressed in response to that the jet nozzle member injects a return fuel to the fuel chamber main body through the hole portion, and a tubular circulating member circulating a fuel within the fuel chamber main body are provided. The fuel stored within the fuel tank is introduced into the fuel chamber main body and the fuel within the fuel chamber main body is circulated in response to that the jet nozzle member injects the return fuel into the fuel chamber main body.
