A canister for the recovery of evaporated fuel in a fuel tank of a vehicle is positioned in a central region of a vehicle. The vehicle body frame includes left and right side frames attached with a plurality of cross members. The canister is positioned behind a central cross member at a side opposite of an exhaust pipe running from the vehicle engine toward the rear of the vehicle. By attaching the canister in this location, a vapor pipe connecting the canister with the fuel tank is shortened, resulting in a more adequate recovers of evaporated fuel. Additionally, a canister placed in this location, is made larger, further increasing the adequacy of evaporated fuel recovery. Furthermore, as opposed to conventional canisters being located in the engine compartment, a canister located behind the central cross member is not effected by warming caused by the engine. The result is a canister having excellent performance in the recovery of evaporated fuel from the fuel tank of a vehicle.
