Abstract
A motorcycle having an improved fuel tank arrangement with an opening in an upper side wall of the fuel tank that is closed by a combined fuel pump, closure plate and return port arrangement. The fuel is supplied to a fuel injection system through an arrangement including a filter and pressure regulator with the filter pressure regulator and opening all being positioned on the same side of the motorcycle and at relatively the same vertical height. The assembly may be removed from the opening without draining fuel due to its high placement in the opening.
