Fuel tanks, fuel sender units and associated hardware for classic British cars, covering replacement tanks in original-pattern steel construction, sender units, sender seals, tank mounting straps, fuel filler caps and the associated fuel system hardware. Fuel tanks are one of the components where age catches up with British classics most visibly, internal corrosion, external corrosion, sender failure and seal leakage are common after several decades, particularly on cars that have been stored with low fuel levels for extended periods.
Replacement Fuel Tanks
Replacement fuel tanks in original-pattern steel construction are stocked across the major British classic applications, manufactured to original profiles with E10 ethanol-compatible internal coatings. Tank capacity, mounting configuration, sender mounting and outlet positions are produced to original specification, please verify against your existing tank before ordering, as these specifications can differ between markets and across production years.
Sender Units and Sender Seals
Fuel level sender units in original-pattern construction are stocked across the major applications, with the appropriate calibration for original-fitment fuel gauges. Sender seals, the rubber or cork gaskets between the sender unit and the tank, are stocked separately and should always be replaced when the sender is removed, as old seals will not reliably reseal.
Mounting Hardware and Filler Components
Tank mounting straps, mounting brackets, fuel filler hoses, vent hoses, filler neck seals and the smaller fastenings that secure the tank within the body are stocked across the major applications. Fuel filler caps in original-pattern stainless steel and chrome configurations are stocked, as are locking caps where these were factory or aftermarket fitments.
E10 Ethanol Compatibility
All fuel tanks supplied through this section are produced with internal coatings compatible with E10 petrol. Owners with original tanks who are concerned about long-term ethanol exposure can have existing tanks professionally cleaned and re-coated as an alternative to outright replacement; the parts team can advise on suitable specialists. The MGOC Spares British Classic Car Parts Fuel Tanks & Senders range encompasses replacement fuel tanks in original-pattern steel construction, sender units, sender seals, mounting straps, filler caps and fuel system hardware for the British classics we serve. MGOC Spares is constantly expanding our range for these non-MG British classic marques, and new lines are being added to this section regularly.
