A fuel tank structure includes: a fuel tank that is installed in an automobile and that accommodates fuel; a bag-shaped member that is fixed to a ceiling portion of an interior of the fuel tank, and that is formed in the shape of a bag and includes a reflecting film that reflects laser light, and whose state of contact with the fuel is maintained due to the bag-shaped member inflating or deflating in accordance with a height of a liquid surface of the fuel accommodated in the fuel tank; and a distance meter that irradiates laser light toward the bag-shaped member from the ceiling portion or a bottom portion of the fuel tank, and detects reflected light that is reflected from the reflecting film, and measures a distance to a contacting portion of the bag-shaped member and the fuel.
