A joint part includes a connection part weldable on the tank and a tube part including an inner circumferential face. An inner tube is fitted in the inner circumferential face and in contact with the inner circumferential face. The tube and the inner tube include materials having different swelling rates against a fuel to be stored in the tank. An end of the tube and a corresponding end of the inner tube in an axial direction of the tube and the inner tube include slopes therearound in contact with each other. The slopes are inclined from the axial direction.
