Abstract
A resin member has a first barrel member 30, which can be welded to the fuel tank, and a second barrel member having a higher melting temperature than the first barrel member. The first barrel member is joined to the outer circumference of the second barrel member and protrudes at one axial end. The second barrel member protrudes at the other axial end. A bolt is inserted from one end where the first barrel member protrudes through the second barrel member out of an end face where the second barrel member protrudes. The first barrel member of the resin member is welded to the fuel tank. The bolt is inserted into a mounting hole of the heat insulation plate and securely fastened. A flange spreading diametrically is preferably formed on a protruding end face of the second barrel member.

A structure for mounting a heat insulation plate on a fuel tank, the structure comprising:
- the fuel tank made of resin;
- the heat insulation plate;
- a resin member welded to the fuel tank;
- a bolt attached to the resin member, wherein:
- the heat insulation plate is mounted on the fuel tank through the resin member and the bolt;
- the resin member includes:
- a first barrel member weldable to the fuel tank;
- a second barrel member having higher melting point than the first barrel member;
- the first barrel member is joined to an outer periphery of the second barrel member;
- a part of the first barrel member protrudes from one end of the resin member in an axial direction;
- a part of the second barrel member protrudes from the other end of the resin member in the axial direction;
- the bolt is inserted into the resin member from the one end side so that the bolt passes through inside of the second barrel member and protrudes from the other end;
- and
- an end face of the part of the first barrel member is welded to the fuel tank.
An attachment part for mounting a heat insulation plate on a fuel tank, the attachment part comprising:
- a first barrel member;
- and
- a second barrel member having higher temperature than the first barrel member and jointed to the first barrel member, wherein:
- one end portion of the first barrel member protrudes from one end portion of the second barrel member;
- the other end portion of the second barrel member protrudes from the other end portion of the first barrel member;
- and
- the first and second barrel members each defines a through hole therein.
