- the method of connecting the fuel nozzle 15 and the fuel nozzle plate 14 to each other according to conventional example shown in FIG. 4 poses the following problem. That is, when multiple fuel nozzles 15 are densely arranged downstream of the fuel nozzle plate 14 and a space 43 surrounding the fuel nozzle 15 is narrow, an operation space which is wide enough to connect the fuel nozzle 15 and the fuel nozzle plate 14 to each other cannot be ensured on the downstream side of the fuel nozzle plate 14.

This improves both the accuracy of connecting the fuel nozzle 15 and the fuel nozzle plate 14 to each other and, with the improvement in connecting accuracy, the structural reliability of the connecting portion between the fuel nozzle 15 and the fuel nozzle plate 14 is heightened.
- forming a small space between the side surface of the fuel nozzle 15 and the inner surface of the fuel nozzle receiving hole 44 of the fuel nozzle plate 14 makes it possible to generate a frictional force between the side surface of the fuel nozzle 15 and the inner surface of the fuel nozzle receiving hole 44 of the fuel nozzle plate 14 upon their contact.
