A fuel supplying system includes a socket component, a filler pipe, a connection, and a fuel tank. The socket component is positioned close to a fuel filler opening in a side of a vehicle body. The filler pipe is connected to the socket component at one end thereof and is connected to the connection at the other end thereof. The fuel tank houses a main part of the connection and stores fuel. The filler pipe extends through a space between a side portion of a wheelhouse and a rear wheel to the fuel tank, which is positioned at a bottom portion of the vehicle body. The fuel pipe is formed of a flexible material such that the fuel pipe is expanded by the fuel during refueling and is flat at times other than refueling.
