Abstract:
1. An all terrain vehicle comprising: a frame; an engine unit suspended from the frame; a fuel tank mounted on the frame; a fuel pump disposed within the fuel tank and including a fuel suction vent; a pump installation member arranged to secure the fuel pump and located in a pump connection opening disposed on a top surface of the fuel tank; and an air cleaner arranged under a seat; wherein a protrusion protruding in a downward direction is provided on a bottom surface of the fuel tank and at a portion opposing the fuel suction vent of the fuel pump, and the protrusion is arranged so that the protrusion opposes an aspiration passage extending between the air cleaner and the engine unit and in a space defined between a throttle body and a cylinder head cover; the protrusion is disposed above all portions of the aspiration passage extending between the air cleaner and the engine unit; and the protrusion is located approximately at a center of the bottom surface of the fuel tank along both a front-to-rear direction and a widthwise direction of the vehicle and spaced from both a front and a rear of the fuel tank such that cutting off of a fuel supply is avoided even when a level of the fuel within the fuel tank varies due to traveling on rough terrain or sudden acceleration or deceleration.
