ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank assembly has a cover adapted for attachment to a structural member of a vehicle to define an enclosure between the cover and structural member and a fuel tank is received within the enclosure. Preferably, a space exists between the fuel tank and the cover, and the space is communicated with a fuel vapor canister to remove fuel vapor from the space and prevent it from escaping to the atmosphere. Desirably, the cover shields the fuel tank from the atmosphere, debris, and adjacent vehicle components.
