| 摘要 |
A space-efficient fuel tank (20) for use in a small watercraft (10) powered by an outboard motor (14) is disclosed. The fuel tank (20) is securely but removably mounted to the interior of the watercraft (10) in the previously unusable space immediately underneath and adjacent the outboard motor (14) in its tilted-up condition. In the preferred embodiment, the shell of the fuel tank is generally "U"-shaped in order to optimize the storage space efficiency of the fuel tank (20) when it is positioned in the space underneath the outboard motor. The fuel tank (20) is securely mounted to the watercraft by brackets (24, 26) which adjustably attach to the top of the fuel tank (20) and extend out over the back portion of the watercraft near the outboard motor (14) to secure the tank in position immediately underneath and adjacent to the outboard motor (14).
