Abstract
A fuel adapter includes: an adapter main body, an outer panel-side seal part, and an inner panel-side seal part. The adapter main body is formed of a rigid plastic. The outer panel-side seal part and the inner panel-side seal part are formed of a flexible plastic to be elastically deformable. The inner panel-side seal part is capable of being subject to a deflection deformation that absorbs a variation of a relative position between the outer panel and the inner panel.
