ABSTRACT:
An improved saddle tank for a car fits into the space between the splash apron and a frame member of the car. The saddle tank includes at least one attachment bracket having bolt holes which may be aligned with the bolt holes in a running board bracket. Thus, the fasteners for the running board bracket also pass through the holes in the attachment bracket to hold the tank against the frame member when the attachment bracket is interposed between the frame member and the running board bracket. In addition, the tank is sized so that its top surface lies closer to the top of the frame member than prior art tanks to maximize tank capacity.
