A vehicle may include: a fuel tank; a first fuel inlet connected to the fuel tank and configured to connect to a fuel supply nozzle; and a second fuel inlet connected to the fuel tank and configured to connect to the fuel supply nozzle. An inner diameter of the second fuel inlet may be smaller than an inner diameter of the first fuel inlet.

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.
