ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the present invention is to make supplying fuel to a fuel tank easier without making the fuel tank interfere with a drive shaft or a front wheel drive shaft and without lowering the minimum ground clearance of a traveling vehicle. A fuel tank is disposed between an engine and a seat and below a steering wheel, and a groove is provided longitudinally at the substantial lateral center of the fuel tank. A power steering valve is attached to the lower portion of the steering wheel, and grooves in which hydraulic pipings connected to the power steering valve are arranged are formed in the fuel tank.
