摘要

The fuel tank (1) is fitted to the body (2) of the vehicle by a device (5), which consists of, at least one support element (10), in the form of an inverted U and secured to the vehicle body. A securing element (30), also in the form of an inverted U, is produced as an extended part of the side wall of the fuel tank. These two elements are encased, one within the other and are fitted with complementary surfaces, which give an elastic ratchet means to lock the tank in position.
