What is claimed is: 1. A fuel supply port device, comprising: a tubular main member portion where a fuel supply nozzle is inserted from a tube-upper-end side; a cover member combined with the tubular main member portion and covering a side portion on the tube-upper-end side of the tubular main member portion from an outside; an earth member electrically connecting a fuel-supply-nozzle side to be inserted and a body-panel side; and a seal member sandwiched between the cover member and the tubular main member portion by a combination of the cover member relative to the tubular main member portion, and sealing a pass-through portion of the earth member formed in the cover member, wherein the seal member includes an insert-through portion allowing a one-end-portion side of the earth member to be inserted to pass through from the outside of the tubular main member portion. 2. A fuel supply port device according to claim 1 , wherein the tubular main member portion includes a main member and a guide member for the fuel supply nozzle incorporated inside the main member and made of an electrically conducting material, and one end portion of the earth member contacts the guide member. 3. A fuel supply port device according to claim 2 , wherein the seal member includes an attachment portion relative to the guide member. 4. A fuel supply port device according to claim 1 , wherein the earth member is formed by a metal belt-like plate member. 5. A fuel supply port device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover member includes a flap turned to an open position by an insertion of the fuel supply nozzle to allow the insertion of the fuel supply nozzle.
