Abstract
In a structure for mounting, on a cylinder block, a fuel pump including a fuel pump drive shaft which is rotated by receiving a driving force of a crankshaft, and a fuel pump body which is operated as the fuel pump drive shaft is rotated for pumping fuel, the cylinder block includes a flange portion, on an end portion of the cylinder block in the crankshaft direction, projecting from a surface of the end portion along the crankshaft direction in a direction orthogonal to the crankshaft direction. The flange portion includes a bearing portion which rotatably supports the fuel pump drive shaft, and a pump accommodating hole portion which accommodates the fuel pump body. The fuel pump drive shaft is rotatably supported on the bearing portion, and the fuel pump body is accommodated in the pump accommodating hole portion.
