PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tank cap holding structure which is neither forgotten from leaving a tank cap unclosed nor increasing components.SOLUTION: An opening/closing structure for a fuel filler cap 10 comprises: a fuel filler cap 10; a tank cap hanger 20; a fuel filler cap lid fitting member 30; and a connection member 40. To the tank cap hanger 20, a back face 12 of the fuel filler cap 10 is slidably attached, and a cap holding part 21 is formed at the leading end of the tank cap hanger 20. When the fuel filler cap 10 is opened from a fuel filter port 1, the fuel filler cap 10 slides transversely while rising from the fuel filler cap 1, and the tank cap hanger 20 slides when the fuel filler cap 10 is opened from the fuel filter port 1, so that the cap holding part 21 of the tank cap hanger 20 extends from the end part of the fuel filler cap 10 to thereby hold the tank cap. 【課題】タンクキャップの閉め忘れがなく、部品を増加させることない、タンクキャップの保持構造を提供する。【解決手段】給油口蓋１０の開閉構造は、給油口蓋１０とタンクキャップハンガー２０と給油口蓋取付部材３０と連結部材４０を有する。タンクキャップハンガー２０は、給油口蓋１０の裏面１２をスライド可能に取付けられるとともに、タンクキャップハンガー２０の先端にキャップ保持部２１が形成される。給油口蓋１０を給油口１から開くときに、給油口蓋１０は、給油口１から上昇しつつ横方向にスライドし、給油口蓋１０を給油口１から開いたときに、タンクキャップハンガー２０がスライドして、タンクキャップハンガー２０のキャップ保持部２１が給油口蓋１０の端部から張り出して、タンクキャップを保持する。【選択図】図２
