Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To revise locations for a fuel system and a fuel tank which improves impact resistance and reduces the occurrence of tank failure, fuel spillage, fire and/or explosion while providing a sufficient range for a vehicle.SOLUTION: A fuel tank system includes at least one fuel tank and a support structure. The at least one fuel tank is provided in the vicinity of a frame rail member of a tractor. At least a portion of the at least one fuel tank extends between extension sections of a vertical axis of each frame rail member. The support structure protects the at least one fuel tank during an event such as, but not limited to a collision, crash, and accident. The support structure includes at least one mounting member which attaches the at least one fuel tank to the frame rail members, at least one rail which extends about the at least one fuel tank, and at least one bottom plate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車両にとって十分な範囲を提供しながら、耐衝撃性を改善し、タンク破損、燃料漏出、火災および／または爆発の発生を減らす燃料システムおよび燃料タンクについての配置を見直すこと。【解決手段】燃料タンクシステムは、少なくとも１つの燃料タンクと支持構造とを含む。少なくとも１つの燃料タンクは、トラクターのフレームレール部材近傍に設けられる。少なくとも１つの燃料タンクの少なくとも一部は、各フレームレール部材の垂直軸の延在部間に延びている。支持構造は、これらに限られるものではないが、衝突、圧潰や事故といった事象の際に少なくとも１つの燃料タンクを保護する。支持構造は、少なくとも１つの燃料タンクをフレームレール部材に取り付ける少なくとも１つの装着部材と、少なくとも１つの燃料タンク周囲に延びる少なくとも１つのレールと、少なくとも１つの下部プレートとを含む。【選択図】図１
