Abstract

A fuel tank lid includes a lid part and a terminal. The lid part includes an inserted part inserted into an opening of a fuel tank, and a storage part storing a drive circuit. The terminal has a central portion covered by the inserted part and the storage part, a first end connected to a pump, and a second end connected to the drive circuit. The storage part includes a side wall that has a first opening and a second opening, an upper closure part that closes the first opening, and a lower closure part that closes the second opening. The fuel tank lid further includes a discharge structure positioned vertically lower than the upper closure part and discharging a fuel vapor that has travelled along an interface between the terminal and the lid part and entered a hollow space of the storage part, to an external atmosphere.
