Fiat Tipo Fuel Tank Replacement Parts

The second-generation Fiat Tipo was launched in 2015 and remains in production, with a notable facelift arriving in 2020. Within the pre-facelift 2015–2020 range, fuel tanks from the same engine and fuel type should correspond closely, but whether a tank from a pre-facelift car crosses over cleanly to a post-2020 facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mounting and ancillary points can change at these boundaries. Always quote your engine code alongside your year so the breaker can match accurately.

Both years sit within the same pre-facelift second-generation Tipo (2015–2020), so provided the engine code and fuel type match, a 2017 tank is a strong candidate for a 2019 car. Engine code is the most reliable guide here — check your V5 or run a VIN check before approaching a breaker. The breaker should still verify against your registration to rule out any mid-production ancillary changes.

Trim level — whether Easy, Lounge, or any other grade — does not affect which fuel tank is fitted; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type. A 2018 Tipo Easy and a 2018 Tipo Lounge sharing the same engine code will use the same tank. You may find minor cosmetic differences on surrounding components, but the tank itself is determined by the mechanical specification, not the badge on the boot.

Yes, fuel type is one of the most important fitment factors — a petrol tank and a diesel tank are not interchangeable, and fitting the wrong type is a serious safety issue. Always make clear to the breaker whether your car is petrol or diesel, and back it up with your engine code so there is no ambiguity. This is particularly important when sourcing from a dismantler who may have several Tipo shells in the yard.

The 2020 facelift is a recognised boundary in the Tipo's production history, and crossing that boundary with a fuel tank is something you should not assume will work without checking. Confirm the compatibility with the breaker using your full registration or VIN, as mounting points and ancillary fittings can differ between pre- and post-facelift cars even when the engine code is the same. Name the facelift year clearly when you contact the breaker so they can pull the correct part.

The single most useful piece of information is your engine code, which you will find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — this tells the breaker far more than the year or trim name alone. Alongside that, give them your fuel type (petrol or diesel), your gearbox type (manual or automatic), and your full registration so they can cross-reference any specification changes. The more precisely you can describe the mechanical specification, the better your chance of getting a part that fits without having to return it.
