Abstract

A fuel cylinder attaching structure in a motorcar can cope with a large expansive deformation of the fuel cylinder and fixedly support the fuel cylinder surely. The structure comprises a pair of front and rear supporting frame members fixed on a car-body; a fixing band fixed to the front and rear supporting frame members, wound round the fuel cylinder; and both ends of the fixing band connected to each other with a spring interposed, positioned on a vertical bisection of a line segment extending between the front and rear attach-supporting sections.
