An air vent mechanism includes a composite type air vent valve having a check valve for controlling a pressure in a fuel tank and a cut valve for discharging vapor in the fuel tank and preventing fuel from leaking. The check valve and the cut valve are connected through a communicating path. A tank side connecting portion communicates with the communicating path, and an atmosphere side connecting portion communicates with an atmosphere side port of the check valve portion.
