Abstract
A fuel tank of a straddle type vehicle, whose die for bending a body can be drawn from the tank easily, and whose knee grip part can be formed easily is provided. A body is formed by integrally joining, at the center in the vehicle width direction, body half bodies divided into two in the vehicle width direction, a body flange to be placed on and welded to a bottom, is formed on the entire outer circumferential edge of the body, a rear part (specifically, a rear lateral welding portion side) of a side part (lateral welding portion side) of the body flange protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction toward the obliquely lower direction, and a part of the side part other than the rear part (specifically, a front lateral welding portion side) of the body flange protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction toward the obliquely upper direction.
