A casing 100 of fuel shutoff valve 10 includes a housing 120 having a partition part 122 with a communication hole 124, the partition part 122 dividing the inside of the casing into an upper space CU and a lower space CL, a check valve case 140 supporting a check valve structure 142, and a cutoff valve case 160 storing a float 162. The casing 100 includes a communication passage C10 connecting a space C16 storing the float 162 and a space C14 in the check valve case 140 and having a delivery opening 168 of the cutoff valve case, the communication hole 124, and a reception opening 146 of the check valve case.
