A tank assembly (1) comprises: a main tank (1) and an auxiliary tank (2), wherein the main tank (1) defines a volume (3) intended to contain a first liquid in particular diesel fuel; the main tank comprises a horizontal body (1a) with an elongate shape in particular a general parallelepiped shape; the main tank has a mouthpiece (1b) with an associated removable cap; the cap is preferably positioned in an upper portion of the lateral surface of the body (1a); the auxiliary tank (2) has a reduced volume, is arranged adjacent to the main tank (1) and intended to contain a second liquid in particular an urea-containing liquid; and the auxiliary tank comprises a body (2a) having a mouthpiece (2b) with an associated removable cap (6). The body (2a) of the auxiliary tank (2) has a transverse profile which is contained, at least in part, in the transverse profile of the body (1a) of the main tank (1). The body (1a) of the main tank (1) forms a transverse cavity or recess (5) which defines a seat isolated from the volume (3) and in which the body (2a) of the auxiliary tank (2) is inserted in an extractable manner. The cavity or recess (5) has an outlet opening (1e) through which the mouthpiece (2b) of the auxiliary tank (2) emerges, in a portion of the lateral surface of the body (la) of the main tank (1).
