PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the rigidity of a patch member, because the rigidity of a tank stay is difficult to be increased due to the necessity of forming the patch member to be about as thick as the inner wall surface of a fuel tank while the tank stay for engaging the fuel tank with a main frame is fitted to the inner wall surface of the fuel tank via the patch member.SOLUTION: A center groove 30 is provided in the bottom part of a fuel tank 26, a patch member 37 about as thick as an inner wall 32 is welded to the wall facing the center groove, and a tank stay 33 is welded thereon. The patch member 37 has beads 41 and 42 provided along the surroundings of the tank stay 33, thereby increasing the rigidity of the patch member 37, and the tank stay 33 is welded along the beads 41 and 42.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】燃料タンクをメインフレームへ係合するタンクステイはパッチ部材を介して燃料タンクの内壁面へ取り付けられている。しかしパッチ部材は燃料タンクの内壁面と同程度の肉厚にする必要があるので、タンクステイの剛性を上げにくい。そこでパッチ部材の剛性を上げることを目的とする。【解決手段】燃料タンク２６の底部に中央溝３０を設け、これに臨む内壁３２へ同程度の肉厚のパッチ部材３７を溶接し、その上にタンクステイ３３を溶接する。パッチ部材３７はタンクステイ３３の周囲に沿うビード４１、４２を設け、これによりパッチ部材３７の剛性を上げるとともに、タンクステイ３３をビード４１、４２に沿って溶接する。【選択図】図５
