Are Mk7 Fuel Tanks the same regardless of wheelbase?

Postby _Andy » Mon Jul 16, 2018 5:14 pm

Are all Mk7 diesel fuel tanks the same regardless of the wheelbase? I've found someone selling a long range tank but he says its for a Jumbo, and I have a MWB , so wondered if it might not fit.

The long range tank is deeper and needs longer straps to hold it in place.

mk4 J reg 2.5 L300 LWB MHR RWD - sold on

Notice a trend there ? not too big and not too small

I believe it was an option on all models, so should fit all, with the correct straps.

Thanks guys, this is something someones had made custom/small run, so just wanted to check in case there is something weird about the floorplan on the XLWB.

The factory long range tank is only available for rear wheel drive and does not fit short wheelbase or petrol vehicles.

Standard is 80 litres
Long range is 103 litres
