Over the years we have offered a few different aftermarket fuel tank options. These new tanks are the best we have found yet, hands-down. The grommets fit, they don't leak vapor or fuel, and the tank walls are beefy and solid. In other words, we are confident you'll be happy with the quality.

We offer two tanks: One that works with a large diameter, steel filler neck, and one that works with the smaller diameter, plastic filler neck (check to see what you have before ordering).

Available Options:
• AD: This tank works with the large 68mm diameter steel filler neck with 7mm fuel outlet tube.
• AH: This tank works with the small 48mm diameter plastic filler neck with 12mm fuel outlet tube.

Wait, wasn't there a third tank that VW offered? Yes, there exists a third type of tank (part number ends in "AE") that is just like the AH, but has a 7mm fuel outlet tube. This was the tank VW used from 1983-85, and required a fitting or filter before the fuel pump to increase the size of the hose from 7mm to 12mm. So, naturally, nobody wants that tank, and we know you don't either! If you have a Vanagon with a plastic filler neck and the common Bosch style electric fuel pump (that has a 12mm inlet hose fitting): buy the AH tank! If for whatever reason you want the fuel outlet tube to be 7mm instead of 12mm, we offer an adaptor grommet that allows for the plastic filler neck to fit the AD tank, 251-201-139B.

I’ve had my Vanagon for 26 years and I’ve dealt with a few parts companies. I’ve learned one thing, sometimes you might have to pay a little bit more but you’re getting a part that’s going to fit perfectly and work correctly. Several years ago I was cheap and stupid enough to make an order with another company. Huge mistake. I taped up the entire box and sent it all back. I’ve learned my lesson. GoWesty is buy it once and buy it right and done. Thank GOD for GoWesty. I don’t like to say bad things about anyone but I think that is was BD, kinda like BS.
Thank you GoWesty for being on the ball and selling Quality Parts.

The fuel tank was packaged really well and there was no damage found once it was opened. It got to my house in Virginia quickly and I am more than satisfied.

Fuel tank replacement by Dansk arrived on time and in excellent condition, decided to get a replacement when doing the reseal procedure, for good measure replaced fuel filter van sounds and drives great.

Packaged very well

I have seen some new tanks delivered on the forums and let me say they were not packaged great. This was packaged wonderful with lots of protection and the tank fit great with only a little struggle on install all my fault.

Filler up

I installed this on 1982 air cooled.
You will also need to order the fuel tank reseal kit.
Because of the air duct on the air cooled van version, I had to add a 1/2” extender to the cross over tube. I had an issue where the cross over tube and filler vent grommets pushed into the tank when I tried to insert them.
Happy to say new tank is in and working well.

With approx 40 years it was time

Fit like a glove. All new rubber and bypass, and not a hind of vapor anywhere.

Fuel Tank

The fuel tank arrived undamaged in record time. The installation was not that easy but it solved my issue.

Great construction

The newer model doesn't have the plastic mesh filter in the middle as my old one did, which was completely clogged. this one has a metal screen and came pre-painted from the factory. As is, this tank should last a LONG TIME! I still opted to cover it with a rubber coating for added protection. if you've already bought a re-seal kit, I would inspect the inner screen to make sure whether a new tank would be in your future or not. I had re-sealed my tank previously (by a shop) and they should have suggested a new tank too, with all the crud I found. Lesson learned.

A solid Choice

I upgraded my Vanagon with this aftermarket fuel tank and couldn't be happier. Installation was a breeze, and it fits like an OEM part. Quality feels durable, ensuring long-term reliability. It's performed flawlessly on several trips, offering great value for the cost. I highly recommend it to Vanagon owners looking for a reliable upgrade to the fuel tank.

Good tank

Looks good, fits well. Much better than the last tank I got from the parts store in town.

Perfect fit for a 1991 vanagon

I replace this outside of my apartment complex. Not the easiest thing to do but needed to be done. Definitely figure out if you have a plastic or metal filler hose before purchasing.

It’s a fuel tank

I went with the GW tank instead of the cheaper tank on eBay. Between the cost of shipping on the eBay tank vs. the GW tank, it ended out about the same. The seal kit worked fine. Just don’t use silicone to reseal the fuel pump…it’ll get inside the tank and clog your pump and be a terrible chore to clean up.
