A fuel tank assembly (10) for a vehicle (16), such as an earthmoving vehicle (16), is pivotally and removably mounted on the rear frame portion (12) of the vehicle (16). The mountings (36, 42) include a strong two point (40, 42) trunnion type mounting assembly (36) on one end of the tank (10) and a one point (44) stiff resilient type mounting assembly (42) on the opposite end of the tank assembly (10). Torsional and compressive loads experienced by the vehicle (16) are essentially isolated from the tank assembly (10) by a sturdy cross-bar assembly (84) forming a portion of the trunnion mounting and by the stiff resilient mounting assembly (42). The two point (38, 40) trunnion mount and the one point (44) stiff resilient mount form a triangle (56). |
