Abstract
In a fuel tank system, a strainer chamber with a suction bore opened into its upper surface is provided in a collecting recess for collecting a residual fuel containing impure foreign substances such as dust and water, the collecting recess being provided in a bottom wall of a fuel tank. A fuel discharge pipe is connected to the strainer chamber. Fuel flow passages are provided outside the strainer chamber. Baffle plates are provided in front and in the rear of and outside the strainer chamber to guide the fuel flowing into the collecting recess during tilting of the fuel tank into the fuel flow passages. Thus, the impure foreign substances are prevented from entering the strainer chamber.
