Provided is a protective structure (64) for a fuel pipe (45) extending along the intake side of an engine main body (9) under an intake manifold (20). A protective member (61) is placed in front of the fuel pipe. The protective member includes a pair of legs (64, 65) secured to the intake side of the engine main body, a main body (63) extending from the legs upward in an arcuate manner along a front side of the fuel pipe and bent rearward in an upper part thereof, and an abutting projection (63G) extending from an upper end of the main body and projecting upward and rearward. A fastening member (26, 27) is passed through a flange of the intake manifold, and includes an engagement feature (36) positioned behind a free end of the abutting projection. The protective member minimizes the loading transmitted to the fuel pipe at the time of a vehicle crash.
