An assembly for mounting at least one component in a tank for a motor vehicle, the tank including a wall portion and an attachment portion projecting outward from the wall portion, the attachment portion defining an opening in the wall portion, the assembly including: a mounting module configured to carry the at least one component and to close the opening in the wall portion; the mounting module including an outer side configured to be accessible from outside the tank; at least one connector arranged on the outer side of the mounting module, the at least one connector being connected to the at least one component; a clamp configured to clamp the mounting module to the attachment portion; and a cover attached to the clamp and covering at least partially the at least one connector.

To provide a vehicle body mounting structure for a fuel tank tank, which can suppress deformation of the fuel tank due to a band member while suppressing increase in weight of the fuel tank, the vehicle body mounting structure for a fuel tank includes: a band member (21) disposed along a lower surface (14) of the fuel tank (1) made of resin and having both ends secured to the vehicle body; an upper groove (31) formed in a side surface (12) of the fuel tank (1) to extend downward from an upper surface (13) of the fuel tank (1) over at least a part of the side surface (12) of the fuel tank (1); and a cushion member (26) interposed between the fuel tank (1) and the vehicle body and straddling the upper groove (31).

A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame having a front frame portion, a mid-frame portion, and a rear frame portion. The mid-frame portion is coupled to the rear frame portion and the front frame portion. The vehicle further includes a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame. The front frame portion is removably coupled to the mid-frame portion with a plurality of frame members extending between the front frame portion and the mid-frame portion.

A tank mounting structure includes a frame, a band, and a tank protector. The frame is configured to fix the tank. The band is configured to fix the tank in a state where the band sandwiches the tank with the frame and the band deforms in accordance with expansion or contraction of the tank. The tank protector is configured to be fixed to an inner side of the band or an outer side of the band.

A non-metallic fuel tank includes a non-metallic tank body, at least one coupling device or mounting system for coupling the non-metallic tank body to a bed of a truck or to a trolley, and a fuel fill opening. A grounding wire may be coupled to the non-metallic tank as well as a fuel line connector which is also coupled to the existing fuel system of a truck. A mounting system for a non-metallic fuel tank includes two rear toe clamps and two front mounting assemblies which include a front mount base and an angle iron coupled together. A portable fuel tank includes a non-metallic tank body and a trolley coupled to the tank body. The trolley includes a base, a mounting system for coupling the non-metallic tank body and the base, at least one handle and at least one wheel.

CNG and/or other types of fuel can be placed in the space between the tractor and the front of the trailer or internal to the cargo volume of the trailer. The tanks can be mounted permanently on the front of the trailer or they could reside on the tractor and be transferred to the front of the trailer after hook up. After the tractor hooks up to a trailer, the tanks are lifted up via two jacks operating at two lift points near the top at each end of the tank module framework, the tanks are then translated backward by a single actuator operating on the midpoint of the horizontal jack support beam which is riding on the tractor frame rails. Then the tanks are lowered to rest on detachable cantilevers attached to the steel understructure near the front of the trailer.
