Abstract
To incorporate a fuel pump inside a fuel tank having a complicated shape with a small width. A motorcycle may be an offroad model with a fuel tank having a complicated shape with a small width. The fuel pump includes a base plate which is fixed to a plate fitted on the upper surface of the fuel tank. A cylindrical and elongated pump body extends downwardly from the base plate. An intake pipe having a filter formed on the distal end thereof is connected to the pump body. The base plate of the fuel pump and a hose joint arranged on the upper surface of the base plate are covered by the front portion of the rider's seat. The upper portion of the fuel pump is exposed to the outside of the fuel tank. Thus, it is possible to easily have access to the fuel pump when performing the maintenance.
