Claim:
1. A structure for a filling section of a fuel filler pipe, comprising: a fuel filler pipe communicating with and connecting between a filling port into which a nozzle of a filling gun is inserted, and a fuel tank for reserving a fuel; and an adapter disposed between a panel member of a vehicle body and the fuel filler pipe and including a bottom surface defining the filling port, wherein the fuel filler pipe includes a straight pipe section which extends from the filling port to a fuel tank side and which inclines downward relative to a horizontal direction, wherein the straight pipe section includes a capless mechanism section including a shutter to open or close the filling port, and wherein the straight pipe section includes an end surface proximate to the filling port, and has a cross section which is formed if the straight pipe section is cut approximately orthogonally to an axial direction of the straight pipe section, wherein the end surface of the straight pipe section is connected to the filling port of the adapter, wherein the end surface of the straight pipe section inclines relative to the cross section of the straight pipe section toward a main body surface of a closed lid section that is provided on the panel member of the vehicle body, wherein the end surface of the straight pipe section is disposed approximately parallel with the main body surface of the closed lid section, and wherein the end surface of the straight pipe section is disposed at an inclination relative to a vertical direction which is smaller as compared with that of the cross section of the straight pipe section.
