Abstract
A wave-eliminating plate securing structure in a fuel tank 1 includes: a wave-eliminating plate configured to be fixed to an inside of a resinous fuel tank and to suppress waving of fuel; and resinous clips each including a weld portion to be welded and fixed to an inner wall of the fuel tank, and an attachment portion to which to attach the wave-eliminating plate. After the clips are welded and fixed at their respective predetermined positions to an inner wall of the fuel tank in advance, the wave-eliminating plate may be inserted into the fuel tank, and attached and fixed to the clips. Thereby, the wave-eliminating plate can be easily fixed at a predetermined position to the inside of the fuel tank with high precision.
