Abstract: A fuel supplying apparatus comprises a conduit pipe adapted to conduct a liquid fuel from a storage tank to a high place above a fuel supplying service area, a fuel supplying hose connected at one end thereof to the conduit pipe at its end at the high position and provided at the other free end thereof with a fuel supplying nozzle, the free end of the hose being suspended from the high place, an arm mechanism having one arm end pivoted at the high place and another arm end adapted to move in a straight line, the total length of the arm mechanism being substantially constant irrespective of the displacement position thereof, and a guide mechanism for guiding the other arm end of the arm mechanism in a substantially horizontal movement, that is, in a movement substantially parallel to the service area. One part of the hose is disposed substantially along the arm mechanism at the high place. The other part of the hose is suspended from the other arm end of the arm mechanism. The length of the other part of the hose is constant irrespective of paid-out position of the hose from the hose unit.
