The present invention relates to a device for vehicle fuel tanks, which includes a tank (1) having a rounded rectangular cross section with rounded corners (5-8) and an upper limiting plane (15) which substantially coincides with the upper side (9) of the tank. A lower limiting plane (16) coincides substantially with the bottom side (10) of the tank. Carrying brackets (2) cooperate with a flexible strapping unit (3) for attaching the tank to the vehicle. The carrying brackets (2) are shaped as a substantially vertical cradle, having a web (21) and a support surface (30) facing the inner side (12) of the tank and, at the top, merging into an upper support protrusion (22) and, at the bottom, merging into a lower, laterally pointing support protrusion (23). Both support protrusions have a support surface (31, 32) arranged to bear on respective rounded corner (7, 8) of that tank. The cradle extends vertically so that the upper support protrusion (22) is substantially under the upper limiting plane (15) and the lower support protrusion (11) is substantially above the lower limiting plane (16).

1. An assembly for mounting a fuel tank in a vehicle, comprising:a) at least one bracket having an upper end, a lower end, a planar mounting side, and a web extending perpendicularly from said mounting side, said web including a support surface including a first portion of the support surface corresponding to a first corner portion of a fuel tank, a second portion of the support surface corresponding to a second corner portion of a fuel tank, and a vertical portion of the support surface extending vertically between said first portion of the support surface and said second portion of the support surface; and b) a flexible tightening element adapted to be connected to said upper end and said lower end so that said tightening element is disposed at or below said upper end and at or above said lower end and so that said upper end and said lower end prevent rotation of the tank.
