Abstract
A tank panel apparatus including a base member is adapted to be attached to a motorcycle fuel tank. A slot is disposed on a top surface of the base member for receiving a projection of a container and a release mechanism is also provided on the container to hold the projection in the slot and consequently hold the container to the base member. The container also includes a belt clip or belt loop so that the motorcycle operator can attach the container to his or her belt once it is removed from the motorcycle tank panel and which container can readily and quickly be re-attached to the motorcycle tank panel.
