Patent ID: 7784580

Claim:
A fuel supply system component protective construction, comprising: a fuel supply system component which is disposed between a vehicle structural component mounted upon a vehicle, and a vehicle main body component which makes up a vehicle body of the vehicle, which comprises a high rigidity portion and a low rigidity portion endowed with relatively low rigidity as compared with the high rigidity portion, and which is supported upon the vehicle structural component; a protective member which is disposed between the fuel supply system component and the vehicle main body component, and which confronts the high rigidity portion and the low rigidity portion at a certain distance; and a shock absorption member which is provided between the high rigidity portion and the protective member, wherein when the fuel supply system component and the protective member shift in the direction to mutually approach one another, the shock absorption member contacts the high rigidity portion before the protective member contacts the low rigidity portion, so that a resilient force is caused to operate upon the fuel supply system component and the protective member.
