A snowmobile includes a seat for the rider behind an engine and an air
cleaner, and an elongate fuel tank below the seat. The height of the
ceiling of the fuel tank at a location corresponding to the rider seating
position is lower than the height of the ceiling of the fuel tank at
other portions thereof. A raised ceiling portion is provided in the fuel
tank by raising upwards the front side of the fuel tank. A fuel pump is
provided in the raised ceiling portion of the fuel tank. The fuel pump is
attached to the ceiling of the fuel tank, and a fuel supply pipe for
supplying fuel from the fuel tank resides between the fuel pump and the
front side of the fuel tank. The snowmobile having such fuel tank
stabilizes vehicle body during operation, enhances the seating comfort,
and easily incorporates a fuel pump therein.
