Product Information
Fuel Tank / Petrol Tank 50Ltr.

The OE Match Fuel Tank / Petrol Tank 50 Litre is a premium-quality replacement fuel tank designed to safely store and supply fuel to compatible classic Porsche models. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, capacity and durability, this 50-litre fuel tank restores the integrity and reliability of the vehicle's fuel system while maintaining the original factory fit and appearance.

Fits:

  • Porsche 356A 1955-59
  • Porsche 356B 1959-63  

Diagram Ref No 1

Manufactured from high-quality corrosion-resistant steel, the tank is engineered to withstand vibration, fuel exposure and varying operating temperatures. Precision-formed to replicate the original dimensions and mounting points, it provides direct OE-style installation and ensures compatibility with the original fuel sender, filler neck, fuel lines and mounting hardware. It is the ideal solution for replacing corroded, leaking or damaged original fuel tanks during restoration or routine maintenance.  

What This Product Does:
  • Safely stores up to 50 litres of petrol.
  • Supplies fuel to the engine through the vehicle's fuel system.
  • Maintains a reliable fuel reserve for consistent engine operation.
  • Provides secure mounting within the vehicle.
  • Supports correct operation of the fuel sender and fuel delivery components.
  • Helps prevent fuel contamination and leaks.
  • Restores factory fuel system integrity.
  • Forms an essential part of the vehicle's fuel storage system.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
  • Visible fuel leaks.Strong smell of petrol around the vehicle.
  • Corrosion or rust on the tank exterior.
  • Fuel contamination caused by internal corrosion.
  • Damp patches beneath the vehicle after parking.
  • Difficulty maintaining fuel pressure due to leaks.
  • Damaged or dented fuel tank.
  • Excessive rust around mounting areas.
  • Inaccurate fuel level readings caused by tank damage.
  • MOT or vehicle inspection failure due to fuel system leaks.

Why Replacement Matters:
  • The fuel tank is continually exposed to moisture, road debris, vibration and changing temperatures. Over time, corrosion can develop inside and outside the tank, while physical damage or ageing may lead to leaks and contamination of the fuel system.
  • A leaking or corroded fuel tank presents both a safety risk and a reliability issue. Fuel leaks increase the risk of fire, while rust particles inside the tank can contaminate the fuel system, leading to blocked filters, injector or carburettor problems and poor engine performance. Structural corrosion can also weaken the tank and its mounting points.
  • Replacing a worn or damaged fuel tank restores the safety, reliability and performance of the fuel system. The OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, premium-quality corrosion-resistant steel construction and a correct 50-litre capacity, making it an ideal choice for Porsche restoration, repair and long-term vehicle preservation.
