For this reason, the lid mounting member 120 is also greatly curved and extends to the outside of the fuel filler port lid 110 in the lateral direction.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, the refueling port box 140 becomes larger in the lateral direction than the opening portion of the refueling port 101, and requires a large space to secure the mounting space for the refueling port box 140. The workability of assembling the fuel filler box 140 to the fuel filler port 101 was not good.

As for the shape of the lid mounting member 120, since the shape of the opening portion of the fuel filler port 101 changes depending on the type of vehicle, it is necessary to change the shape according to the vehicle, and it is difficult to standardize the parts.
Further, when the rotating shaft 121 of the lid mounting member 120 is mounted on the fuel filler port box 140, it is necessary to insert the tip of the lid mounting member 120 into the back of the fuel filler port box 140, and the tip of the lid mounting member 120 needs to slip into the fuel filler port box 140 of the lid mounting member 120. The workability at the time of assembling was not good.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the fuel filler port lid 210 may be attached by two lid attachment members 220 and 230 (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In this case, when the refueling palate 210 is opened, the end portion 211 of the refueling palate 210 enters the inside of the refueling port 201 in the world shown in FIG.
Therefore, when the fuel filler port 210 is opened, the tip of the fuel filler port 210 may interfere with the end portion of the fuel filler port 201, so that a space is required between the fuel filler port 201 and the fuel filler port 201.
