Abstract
A vehicle fuel tank has indentations on the bottom wall which form an internal pocket between oppositely facing surfaces of the indentations. A reserve tank is mounted in the pocket. In a preferred embodiment, the reserve tank is clamped by the surfaces using an elastic member with radial prolongations, at least some of which, in the assembled condition, are oriented in opposition to the direction of removal of the reserve tank.
