Fuel pipe and method of production of same

A fuel pipe comprised of a steel pipe member which is formed from, a steel pipe having as a material a ferritic stainless steel which contains, by mass %,

• C:
• 0.015% or less,
• Si:
• 0.01 to 0.50%,
• Mn:
• 0.01 to 0.50%,
• P:
• 0.050% or less,
• S:
• 0.010% or less,
• N:
• 0.015% or less,
• Al:
• 0.010 to 0.100%, and
• Cr:
• 13.0 to 18.0% and
• further, one or both of
• Ti:
• 0.03 to 0.30% and
• Nb:
• 0.03 to 0.30%, and
• having a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, and
• a metal fitting part which is attached to said steel pipe member,
• said racial fitting part and said steel pipe member having between them a crevice structure at the surface which the structure is exposed to a salt spray environment,
• an opening amount at a crevice part of said crevice structure being 0.2 mm or more, and
• an inside of said crevice part being coated by electrodeposition
• here, the “crevice opening amount” being the penetratable thickness of metal roll which was measured by the method of inserting metal foil of a minimum unit thickness of 10 μm and a width of 5 mm into a crevice by a 0.5 mm penetration depth.
