ABSTRACT:
A low-profile vehicle, such as a loader for use in a mine or the like, has fuel tanks secured to the rear of the main frame to form the rear bumpers and counterweights for the vehicle. A center bumper is attached to the tanks and extends therebetween. The center bumper has a cutout intersected by a draw pin. The tanks are interconnected by a common drawtube from which fuel is picked up for and returned from the engine. Apertured stiffening plates are mounted in the tanks to reinforce the walls of the tank and to form baffles for the fuel in the tanks. Vents, guards, quick fill and conventional fuel inlets are provided on the tank.
