Used Diesel Fuel Tank

The Role of the Diesel Fuel Tank on an Agricultural Tractor

The fuel tank stores diesel fuel, usually GNR in France, and supplies it to the feed pump and then the injection pump. A strainer and pre-filter trap impurities before the circuit. The fuel gauge float transmits the level to the dashboard. A blocked breather, clogged strainer, or condensation water at the bottom of the tank can cause power loss or air intake. Ventilation of the tank, ensured by the cap or breather, prevents vacuum formation in the supply circuit. Modern tractors have a separate AdBlue tank, as well as a hydraulic tank containing oil for the hitch and cylinders. On combines, the tank is generally larger and mounted differently, with specific fittings for each model.

Renault D22, Massey Ferguson, Ford Tractor Diesel Fuel Tanks: Valves and Caps

Each generation of tractor has its own tank: shape, fastening positions, gauge location, and connector diameters vary from model to model. Older agricultural tractors such as Renault D22, Renault 551, or Massey Ferguson 135 are frequently sought, particularly for tank valves or caps. We also source tanks for Ford and Massey Ferguson tractors from the same era. Our tanks come from machines by Renault, Massey Ferguson, Ford, John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Claas, or Deutz-Fahr, depending on dismantling. Provide us with the exact model of your tractor: we check availability in our stock. To identify the correct part, also note the serial number and stamped reference on the tank if legible, and photograph the mounting points, gauge, and fuel supply and return fittings. These details help our technicians match the original part with available tanks before shipping.

Cleaning and Repair: How to Clean a Tractor’s Diesel Fuel Tank?

• Light fouling is often treated with a cleaning additive poured into the diesel, without removing the tank.
• For thorough cleaning, drain the fuel, rinse the tank, and remove sludge from the bottom.
• Check the float, strainer, and breather, which are often clogged by sediments.
• Regularly drain condensation water to protect the filter and injection pump.
• A crack or perforated rust requires tank replacement.
• To replace the tank valve, drain below its level, fit it with a new seal, and check for leaks.
• After reassembly, bleed the supply circuit to purge air before restarting.
