があつた。 By the way, the propeller shaft a swings up and down about the transmission e as the differential device d moves up and down, as shown in FIG. 4, while the vehicle is running.
It was necessary to arrange them at a distance H' on the side of the propeller shaft a to prevent contact with the propeller shaft a. The distance H' needs to be greater than a predetermined size in consideration of the horizontal vibrations of the propeller shaft a and the fuel tank b. Therefore, since the width of the fuel tank b is limited by the distance H', the capacity of the fuel tank b is also limited.

A fuel tank 4 formed so that the flange 3 faces rearward and slopes upward so that the rear volume of the lower tank portion 2 is larger than the front volume.
is arranged close to the side of the propeller shaft 5, with the flange 3 located above and substantially parallel to the rear upper limit inclination position of the propeller shaft 5.

なつている。(Embodiment) In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the joint surfaces of the upper tank part 1 and the lower tank part 2 are formed into inclined planes, the respective flange parts are welded, and the joint surfaces of the upper tank part 1 and lower tank part 2 are welded. Flange 3 tilts upward toward
It constitutes a fuel tank 4 having. Since the bottom surface 6 of the lower tank portion 2 is formed substantially horizontally, the rear volume is larger than the front volume.

にすることもできる。 The propeller shaft 5 disposed between the transmission 7 and the differential device 8 is
As shown in FIG. 1, the flange 3 swings up and down while the vehicle is running, and the angle of inclination of the flange 3 is determined so that it is approximately parallel to the rear upper limit inclination position of the swing. Also, at the upper limit position of the swing of the propeller shaft 5, the flange 3 is positioned above the propeller shaft 5 with an interval V in the vertical direction. Furthermore, a distance W in the left-right direction between the propeller shaft 5 and the side surface 9 of the lower tank portion 2;
For example, the spacing is approximately the same as the spacing H' in the conventional example. Therefore, the distance H in the left-right direction between the propeller shaft 5 and the flange 3 can be made extremely small, and in some cases, can be made zero or even negative.

As a result,
By increasing the width of the fuel tank, the capacity thereof can be increased.
