In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a fixed-type oil supply machine on the ground, an oil supply pipe communicating with an underground oil storage tank is set up inside a housing 1a of the oil supply apparatus 1, and connected to an oil supply motor in the middle of the oil supply pipe. A flow meter connected to a refueling pump and a flow pulse transmitter was provided, and a display 3 for displaying refueling data such as a refueling amount was provided on a front surface of the housing 1a.

A column 2 is erected from both left and right sides of the housing 1a, and the columns 2, 2 are positioned above the housing 1a.
The case 4 is installed between them. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the fuel supply pipe 5 raised in the housing 1 a is further raised in the column 2, the tip protrudes into the case 4, and the fuel supply hose 7 is connected via the swivel joint 6.

An outlet 8 for a refueling hose 7 is provided on the lower surface of the case 4 near the periphery, and a refueling nozzle 9 is provided at the tip of the refueling hose 7 drawn out from the housing.
The fueling nozzle 9 is hooked on the nozzle hook 10 formed on the front surface of the fuel tank. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a hose guide tube provided at the outlet 8.

Next, an oil supply hose 7 housed in the case 4
To describe the storage structure described above, a spring 14 is provided on the inner wall of the case 4 which is located on the opposite side to the outlet 8 and is urged to pull toward the inner wall. A support ring 15 as a support member is slidably attached.

In this way, the tip of the spring 14 is
Attach to As a result, the oil supply hose 7 in the case 4 is supported halfway by the spring 14, and is suspended downward from the outlet 8.
