Earth structure for filler pipe

An earth structure for a filler pipe, comprising:

• the filler pipe;
• a tubular cover member into which an upstream end of the filler pipe is inserted and which defines a fueling port;
• an annular seal part configured to create a seal between the filler pipe and the cover member;
• an earth member which is mounted on an outer surface of the filler pipe and extends along a longitudinal direction of the filler pipe;
• an opening and closing member provided to be displaceable between a closed position in which the opening and closing member closes the fueling port and an open position which is positioned downstream of the closed position and in which the opening and closing member opens the fueling port;
• and
• an urging member always urging the opening and closing member toward the closed position,
• wherein the cover member is made of a conductive material, and the earth member contacts the cover member downstream of the seal part,
• the opening and closing member is made of a conductive material and, when in the closed position, contacts the cover member, and
• the urging member is made of a conductive material and is provided to be always in contact with an inner surface of the opening and closing member and an inner surface of the cover member.
