ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank including a generally hollow body defining an interior volume for accommodating fuel, and a hollow stud extending from a bottom portion of the hollow body. The hollow stud defines a first outlet having an inner end and an outer end, the inner end being in operative communication with the interior volume of the hollow body. An end cap is integrally formed with the hollow stud to seal the outer end of the first outlet. Preferably, the fuel tank includes two diagonally-opposed hollow studs and two corresponding end caps. The fuel tank further includes a centrally-located hollow member defining a second outlet having an inner end and an outer end. A wall member can be integrally formed with the hollow member to provide a seal between the inner end of the second outlet and the interior volume of the hollow body. Preferably, a mounting bracket is positioned adjacent to the bottom portion of the hollow body, and the mounting bracket includes an opening for insertably receiving the hollow stud.
