Fuel vapor recovering structure

1. A fuel vapor recovering structure for a vehicle, the vehicle having a side member extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a cross member extending along a vehicle width direction, the fuel vapor recovering structure comprising:

a canister that absorbs a fuel evaporation gas in a fuel tank of the vehicle;

a canister bracket that attaches the canister to the side member;

an atmosphere communicating pipe having a first end connected to the canister, and a second end opened to the atmosphere;

an air filter filtering air passing through the atmosphere communicating pipe; and

an air filter bracket the attaches the air filter to the side member,

wherein the air filter bracket is connected to the canister bracket.

2. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the canister bracket and the air filter bracket are detachably connected to each other below the side member.

3. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 2 ,

wherein one of the canister bracket and the air filter bracket has a longitudinally extending portion extending in the longitudinal direction below the side member, and

the canister bracket and the air filter bracket are detachably connected to each other by the longitudinally extending portion.

4. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 3 further comprising:

a vapor pipe configured to introduce the fuel evaporation gas in the fuel tank; and a purge pipe configured to supply, together with outside air, the fuel evaporation gas adsorbed by the canister to an engine of the vehicle,

wherein the vapor pipe and the purge pipe are supported side by side by the longitudinally extending portion.

5. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 2 ,

wherein the canister is disposed behind a rear wheel of the vehicle, and

the canister bracket is provided with an under cover covering a lower portion of the canister.

6. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 5 ,

wherein the canister is disposed in an outside in the vehicle width direction of a spare tire storage projecting downward from a floor panel of the vehicle, and

the atmosphere communicating pipe extends from the canister along an outer circumference of the spare tire storage toward a front of the vehicle.

7. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein an opening of the second end of the atmosphere communicating pipe is opened above a bottom wall of the cross member.

8. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the atmosphere communicating pipe is inserted in the cross member at a center of the cross member with respect to a lateral direction of the vehicle.

9. The fuel vapor recovering structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second end of the atmosphere communication pipe is inserted in the cross member through a bottom wall of the cross member.
