PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel filter holding device capable of suppressing a fuel filter interfering with other equipment in front of the fuel filter at the time of vehicle collision.SOLUTION: A bracket 21 for holding a fuel filter 11 includes: a filter mounting plate part 25 which is arranged in a vertical direction while facing rear wall members 15, 17 of a power unit room 1, and on which the fuel filter is mounted; a first fixing seat 27 which is formed at a lower end part of the filter mounting plate part and which is fixed to a bottom wall member 19 of the power unit room; a second fixing seat 31 which is formed at an upper end part of the filter mounting plate part, and which is fixed to the rear wall members of the power unit room; and a connection part 29 which is connected so as to keep a separation distance between the second fixing seat and the upper end part of the filter mounting plate part, and which has a fragile part 39. In this configuration, at the time of vehicle collision, the connection part deforms from the fragile part due to an impact force, and the fuel filter retreats while absorbing the applied impact.
【課題】本発明は、車両の衝突時、燃料フィルタが、当該燃料フィルタ前方の他機器と干渉するのを抑えられる燃料フィルタの保持装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、燃料フィルタ11を保持するブラケット21を、パワーユニットルーム1の後壁部材15,17と対向して上下方向に配置された、燃料フィルタが取り付くフィルタ取付板部25と、フィルタ取付板部の下端部に形成された、パワーユニットルームの底壁部材19と固定される第1固定座27と、フィルタ取付板部の上端部に形成された、パワーユニットルームの後壁部材と固定される第2固定座31と、第2固定座とフィルタ取付板部の上端部との間に当該間で離間距離を保つように連結された、脆弱部39を有する連結部29とを備えるものとした。同構成により、車両の衝突時、衝撃力により、連結部が脆弱部から変形し、加わる衝撃を吸収しながら燃料フィルタは後退する。【選択図】図2
