Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A filler pipe mounting structure that suppresses permeation of the fuel constituents and that provides ease of mounting. The filler pipe mounting structure includes a resin fuel tank including a projecting cylindrical neck; a fastening member including an embedded section and a joining section, the embedded section being embedded in the neck along a circumferential direction thereof, the joining section formed on the embedded section and exposed from an inner wall of the neck; a mounting member disposed on an end portion of a filler tube and attached to an inner side of the fastening member, the filler tube being in communication with the fuel tank; and a seal member placed between the inner wall of the neck and the outer wall of the mounting member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A filler pipe mounting structure comprising: a resin fuel tank including an integrally formed projecting cylindrical neck; a fastening member including an embedded section embedded in the neck at an end side thereof and a joining section formed continuously from the embedded section and exposed from an inner wall at a base side of the neck; a mounting member disposed on an end portion of a filler pipe and attached to the fastening member via the joining section thereof, the filler pipe being in communication with the fuel tank; and a seal member disposed upstream in a fuel inflow direction from the joining section and abutting on the inner wall of the neck and on the mounting member. 2. The filler pipe mounting structure of claim 1 , wherein the fastening member has a high rigidity compared to the neck, and wherein the seal member overlays the fastening member in a base-to-tip direction of the neck. 3. The filler pipe mounting structure of claim 2 , further comprising a second seal member placed between an end of the neck and a portion of the mounting member opposed to the end of the neck. 4. The filler pipe mounting structure of claim 1 , further comprising a second seal member placed between an end of the neck and a portion of the mounting member opposed to the end of the neck.
