A fuel tank apparatus is disposed above an engine. The fuel tank apparatus includes a fuel tank in which fuel is stored and a fuel pump coupled to the bottom of the fuel tank. A heat-shield cover that covers a portion of the fuel pump, which portion is exposed from the fuel tank, to shield the portion from heat of the engine is mounted on a coupling portion between the fuel pump and the fuel tank.

Fuel tank apparatus

A motorcycle includes a fuel tank, a vehicle body frame, a pair of front forks, and a canister. The fuel tank contains gasoline therein. The vehicle body frame supports the fuel tank. The pair of front forks are placed spaced apart from each other in a vehicle width direction to support a front wheel from both sides in the vehicle width direction such that the front wheel is rotatable, and mounted to the vehicle body frame such that the pair of front forks are rotatable around a head pipe. The canister adsorbs gasoline contained in a gasoline vapor present inside the fuel tank and supplies the gasoline to an engine. The canister is placed inward in the vehicle width direction relative to the pair of front forks when viewed from a front, and in front of an engine when viewed from a side.
