Abstract
When a fuel tank is supported rotatably, one end side of the fuel tank must be fixed by a lock mechanism. Although the background art engaging structure is simple and convenient, when the lock mechanism cannot be provided due to space limitations, a rotating support structure cannot be employed. An engaging member is provided on the front portion of the fuel tank and is inserted from the rear side to be engaged with a retaining member and to be pulled rearwardly for disengagement. A fuel tank is provided at a rear end thereof with a hinge. A bolt relatively moving in a guide groove formed in a side plate of the hinge is supported on a collar fixed to a seat rail. The hinge is slideable and rotatable.
