Claims6
A fuel supply device comprising:
- a fuel tank body that stores fuel;
- a fuel filter that is provided inside the fuel tank body and formed in an overall bag shape with a plurality of sheets of filter members superimposed on each other and joined together by a joint portion so as to permit passage of the fuel and restrict passage of foreign matter in the fuel;
- a nipping member that nips the plurality of sheets of filter members at a nipping position that is a different position from the joint portion;
- a separation maintaining member that is disposed between the plurality of sheets of filter members and that maintains a separation between the filter members;
- a feed-out device that feeds out fuel from inside the fuel filter to the fuel tank body exterior;
- and
- a storage member that is provided on the fuel filter and stores the fuel,
- wherein the feed-out device is supported over the storage member and oriented horizontally.
