    Abstract: A pipe attachment for attaching, for example, a fuel pipe to a side frame of a vehicle. The pipe has a portion extending from below a dash panel into an upper portion of an engine compartment. The pipe attachment includes a pipe cover, a first and a second protective cover, and a pipe holder. The pipe cover is secured to the side frame between the joint of the pipe to the dash panel and an end of the pipe in the engine compartment. The first protective wall extends along the pipe and faces an inner side surface of the side frame. The second protective wall extends from the first protective wall closer to the side frame. The pipe holder is secured to a side frame opposing face of the first protective wall to retain the pipe. This structure minimizes transmission of vibration or noise from the fuel pipe inside the vehicle.
