Abstract
A fuel tank for motor vehicles of the type in which the rider rides the vehicle astride. A fuel cock is embedded in a concave portion formed in a body wall of the fuel tank, and a fuel suction pipe extends from the fuel cock into the tank, while a fuel pipe extends to the engine side located at the exterior of the tank. The fuel suction pipe and the fuel pipe can be brought into communication and out of communication with each other within the fuel cock. The position where the fuel cock is embedded in the body wall of the fuel tank may be at the upper surface of the tank, or alternatively it may be at a rear side of the tank. Such arrangement can afford an extremely good operability of the fuel cock while the rider sits astride the vehicle body, and permits an easy confirmation of the operating knob switching position.
