Abstract
A low profile support for releasably mounting a portable power supply on a vehicle chassis. The support comprises a framework adapted to be secured beneath the vehicle chassis so as to dispose the power supply between the longitudinal frame members of the chassis. The lowermost member of the framework is a closed tubular frame which may provide an oil reservoir for the lubrication system of the power supply. In one embodiment, the support is extended to provide for suspension of a fuel tank therein. In another embodiment, a chassis mountable fuel tank separate from the power supply support is provided.
