ABSTRACT:
The fuel tank mounting assembly includes a fuel tank whose front end is pivotally attached to a body frame of a vehicle by means of a hinge member. The fuel tank is further furnished with supporting means at both sides thereof, which restrain the vertical movement of the rear portion of the fuel tank within a predetermined lapse or level in the event of a rear-end collision. The supporting means comprises a guide plate securely fixed to a body frame of a vehicle, guides slideably engaged with the guide plate, a first link member and a second link member whose distal ends are rotatably coupled to the guides and proximal ends are rotatably coupled to a pivot point of the fuel tank, which is disposed at both sides of the fuel tank.
