Purpose and function in the fuel system

The presented tank belongs to the Fuel tanks and filler pipes group and is dedicated to Mercedes vehicles with W177 and W247 bodies equipped with M260 and M282 petrol engines. Its task is to safely store fuel, stabilize pressure in the system, and cooperate with the accessories responsible for powering the drive unit.

The tank's construction has been developed for modern petrol systems, where precise fuel dosing, resistance to vibrations, and maintaining appropriate internal geometry are essential. Thanks to this, the fuel system maintains predictable operating parameters both in city traffic and at higher speeds.

Complete fuel reservoir – installation benefits

As a complete fuel tank, this element allows for the efficient replacement of a damaged or worn-out reservoir without the need to adapt universal solutions. The appropriately selected nominal capacity of 43 liters supports daily operation, providing a reasonable compromise between range and vehicle weight.

The factory solution dedicated to a specific generation of Mercedes models reduces the risk of problems with fitment, routing of lines, or mounting. This is particularly important in the case of modern designs, where chassis geometry and the routing of the fuel installation are strictly integrated with the body.

Operational parameters and technical characteristics

The tank has been designed to work with a petrol supply system, which means the material and construction are adapted to the properties of petrol-type fuels. The appropriate weight of the component promotes mounting stability and correct load distribution in the rear part of the vehicle, which is important for both vehicle handling and the durability of the mounts.

In practice, this translates into:

• secure mounting at factory body points,
• proper cooperation with lines and the fuel filler pipe,
• maintaining the correct geometry of the fuel system under various loads.

Condition, origin, and selection by markings

The offered tank is a used element, which in practice means an attractive compromise between the cost of repair and maintaining the manufacturer's original specification. For proper selection, it is recommended to verify compatibility by the OEM number and interchangeable numbers, as well as by vehicle data (model, year, engine type).

In case of doubt, it is worth comparing the markings with service documentation or using the help of a specialist to ensure full compatibility with the specific fuel system configuration in a given Mercedes unit.

Integration with the fuel system and technical knowledge

To better understand the role of the tank in the entire supply path, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the issues of diagnostics and operation of the fuel system – including injectors, pumps, and the reservoir. Practical tips, tables, and answers to frequently asked questions can be found in the article Fuel system – injectors, pumps, and fuel tank: maintenance and regeneration.
