Application
This tank is the correct version for early production from 1941 until November 1942. After November 1942, the change was made to the late-type tank with larger filler neck and extendable filler tube. Check the production period of your vehicle to select the correct tank.
Installation notes
Tank is mounted under the driver's seat in the tank recess of the floor plate. Fastening is done with two straps and one bolt to the wheel arch frame. Requires 5-screw sending unit (not included). Connect fuel line to connection at tank bottom. Tank has drain plug on left side. Check all connections for leaks after mounting and filling.
Compatibility
Note: this is the early-type tank with small filler neck, WITHOUT extendable filler tube. This version only fits vehicles from the early production period (1941 to November 1942). For later vehicles (November 1942 onwards), the late-type tank with large filler neck and extendable filler tube is required. The two types are not interchangeable without modification of the cap and possibly the tank recess.
Historical context
The early military jeeps were equipped until November 1942 with a fuel tank with small filler neck. This design without extendable filler tube was later replaced by the late-type tank with larger opening and extension to facilitate filling with jerrycans.
