2. Description of the Related Art In order to prevent the fuel vapor ordered in a fuel tank from being released into the outside air, the fuel vapor in the fuel tank is guided to a charcoal canister and adsorbed on activated carbon in the charcoal canister. Internal combustion engines are known. In this case, if the amount of fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank is large, the capacity of the charcoal canister must be increased, and in order to downsize the charcoal canister, the amount of fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank must be minimized. There is.

By the way, when fuel is accumulated in the fuel tank, the upper space in the fuel tank is filled with fuel vapor. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank, the upper space in the fuel tank must be reduced. It is necessary to make the volume as small as possible. Therefore, in order to reduce the volume of the upper space in the fuel tank, a separation membrane, which is in close contact with the fuel liquid surface in the fuel tank and moves up and down together with the fuel liquid surface, is arranged in the fuel tank, and has a role of weight on the separation membrane. There is a known fuel tank on which a plate forming

On the other hand, a fuel pump is used for sucking out the fuel in the fuel tank, and this fuel pump may be provided, for example, in a fuel supply conduit extending from the fuel tank to the fuel injection valve. However, it may be provided in the fuel tank. In this case, when the fuel pump is arranged in the fuel tank, noise generated by the fuel pump is blocked by the fuel tank. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange the fuel pump in the fuel tank from the viewpoint of noise reduction.

By the way, in a general fuel tank having no separation membrane as described above, there is no difficulty in arranging the fuel pump in the fuel tank. Simply place the fuel pump at an appropriate place in the fuel tank. It is enough to place it. However, this is not the case with the separation membrane as described above. That is, when the fuel pump is simply arranged in the fuel tank in the case of having the separation membrane as described above, a problem occurs that the separation membrane and the fuel pump interfere with each other and the separation membrane is damaged, resulting in interference with the fuel pump. In order to avoid this, if the separation membrane part covering the fuel pump is not contracted, a large space is created around the fuel pump when the fuel becomes low, and this large space is filled with fuel vapor. There is a problem in that the amount of fuel vapor generated by the fuel cell increases.

The fuel tank container 1 is divided into a fuel tank region 10 and a separate chamber region 11 by a partition wall 9. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, this separate chamber region 11 is formed in the fuel injection pipe 2. In the fuel tank region 10, an inflatable and expandable fuel tank 13 surrounded by a bag-shaped stretchable film 12 made of a flexible material such as rubber is arranged. Almost the entire outer peripheral edge 14 of the stretch film 12 is hermetically fixed on the inner bottom wall surface of the fuel tank container 1, and a part of the outer peripheral edge 14 of the stretch film 12 is hermetically fixed to the lower end portion of the partition wall 9. It The central portion of the top of the fuel tank 13 is connected to the breather pipe 4 via a bellows-shaped stretchable fuel vapor discharge portion 15.

The separate chamber region 11 formed in the lower portion of the fuel injection pipe 2 is located outside the fuel tank region 10 and communicates with the inside of the fuel tank 13 through an opening 16 formed below the partition wall 9. . A fuel tank 13 is provided in the separate chamber area 11.
A fuel pump 17 for sucking out the internal fuel and a pressure regulator 18 for adjusting the pressure of the fuel discharged from the fuel pump 17 are arranged. Fuel pump 1
The fuel discharged from 7 is supplied to a fuel injection valve (not shown) via a fuel supply conduit 19.

As shown in FIG. 1, the stretch film 12 is in close contact with the liquid fuel surface in the fuel tank 13. That is, even if an air layer is formed between the stretch film 12 and the fuel liquid surface, this air is discharged from the fuel vapor discharge part 15, so that the stretch film 12 comes into close contact with the fuel liquid surface. When the stretch film 12 comes into close contact with the liquid surface of the fuel, the fuel is not evaporated in the close contact portion. Therefore, almost no fuel evaporates in the fuel tank 13. On the other hand, in the fuel injection pipe 2, since there is a space above the liquid surface of the fuel, the fuel evaporates. However, since the area of the fuel liquid level in the fuel injection pipe 2 is not so large, the amount of fuel vapor generated is not so large. That is, the amount of fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank 13 and the fuel injection pipe 2 is considerably small.

As described above, almost no fuel evaporates in the fuel tank 13, and only a very small amount of fuel evaporates. This extremely small amount of evaporated fuel is discharged into the fuel injection pipe 2 through the breather pipe 4. The fuel vapor in the fuel injection pipe 2 is sent into the charcoal canister 6 via the fuel vapor discharge pipe 5, and is adsorbed by the activated carbon in the activated carbon layer 7. As described above, the amount of fuel vapor generated in the fuel tank 13 and the fuel injection pipe 2 is considerably small, and thus the charcoal canister 6 can be miniaturized.
