Abstract
A fuel cylinder for storing a compressed fuel gas is modularized for mounting and supporting the fuel cylinder easily in a motorcar without reconstructing a conventional car-body and necessitating troublesome fuel pipe arranging work after mounting the fuel cylinder. The modularized fuel cylinder comprises a supporting frame fixed to the fuel cylinder, fuel pipes neighboring the fuel cylinder and a joint box on which the fuel pipes concentrate attached to the supporting frame integrally. The fuel cylinder module is detachably fixed to a car-body side supporting frame provided on a rear floor of the motorcar.
