Summary:A fuel inlet apparatus is provided for a personal watercraft of the type having a fuel tank 13 disposed in a craft body 11, and a fuel supply hose 81 extending from the fuel tank 13 with an end thereof connected to a fuel filler member 82 on a deck 20. One end of a chain 83 is fastened inside the fuel filler member 82, and the other end of the chain 83 is fastened to a fill cap 84 used for sealably closing the top of the fuel filler member 82. The chain 83 has a protective tube 86 surrounding a portion thereof, to contact the fuel filler 85 when the fill cap 84 is removed. The provision of the protective tube 86 reduces the risk of damage to the fuel filler or the deck, and the chain itself can also be protected by the tube.
