Abstract: A fuel tank includes a tank panel in which a storage space of a fuel is formed, a tank inlet fixed to the tank panel, and a tank cap that allows the tank inlet to be opened and closed. The tank inlet includes a bottomed cylindrical inlet plate to which the tank cap is attached, an inlet pipe that protrudes from a bottom wall of the inlet plate into the storage space, and a separator configured to separate the fuel entering from the storage space into a liquid component and a gas component. The separator is supported by the bottom wall of the inlet plate in the storage space, and the separator is disposed on an outer side of the inlet pipe and on an inner side relative to an outer edge of the inlet plate in a bottom view of the tank inlet.
