ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank disposed on a lower face of a floor panel beneath a driver's seat and a passenger's seat. A protruding portion of the fuel tank that protrudes rearward is housed within floor tunnels formed in the floor panel. A fuel supply pipe is connected to the rear end of the protruding portion. This not only enables the capacity of the fuel tank to be increased by utilizing an inner space of the floor tunnels, but also enables the resistance against fuel fed to the fuel tank to be reduced by shortening the fuel supply pipe.
