Abstract
A tank mounting technique of the invention effectively responds to a variation in size of a high-pressure tank T in its longitudinal direction and allows positioning of the high-pressure tank T around its longitudinal axis. A tank receiving recessprovided below a vehicle platform F has a pair of a front inclined surfaceF and a rear inclined surfaceR arranged to face each other across a concave groove. A side face of the high pressure tank T is brought into contact with both the inclined surfacesF andR. An end face of a tank positioning groove TVS formed on the high pressure tank T is brought into contact with a contact structureof a tank edge bracket. This arrangement enables the high-pressure tank T to be positioned in a vehicle vertical direction and a vehicle front-back direction, as well as in the tank longitudinal direction (in a vehicle width direction). The tank positioning groove TVS is aligned with a notchformed in the tank edge bracketto specify a rotational position of the high-pressure tank T around its longitudinal axis.
