Second Hand Ford Fiesta Fuel Tank

The Ford Fiesta Mk7 ran from 2008 to 2017, with a facelift in 2013, so a 2012 tank and a 2015 tank sit on opposite sides of that facelift boundary. The engine code and fuel type are the critical matching details, but whether the tank and its mountings interchange cleanly across the 2013 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production. Supply your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check to give the breaker the best chance of finding the right match.

Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment — the tank is determined by engine code, fuel type, and the generation of the car, not the badge on the back. A Zetec and a Titanium sharing the same engine code and fuel type within the same generation will use the same tank, so do not filter your search by trim. Bear in mind that surrounding trim pieces or under-body covers may look different between trim levels, but the tank itself should be the same.

The single most useful detail is your engine code, which appears on your V5C or can be found via a VIN check — mechanical parts follow the engine code above everything else. You should also tell the breaker whether the car is petrol or diesel, the year of your vehicle, and your registration so they can cross-reference the exact build. The more precise you are upfront, the less risk there is of ordering a tank that does not fit.

The Fiesta Mk6 ran from 2002 to 2008, while the Mk7 ran from 2008 to 2017, so these are distinct generations with different underpinnings. A tank from a Mk6 is very unlikely to be a straight swap into a Mk7, and crossing that generation boundary is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Always provide your engine code and fuel type to help the breaker identify a suitable donor vehicle from the correct generation.

Body style does not affect fuel tank fitment — the tank is dictated by engine code, fuel type, and year within the generation, not by how many doors the car has. A tank from a 3-door and a 5-door Fiesta of the same engine code and production period should be the same unit. Focus your search on matching the engine code and fuel type, and do not worry about sourcing from the same body style as your own car.

The key factors are still engine code, fuel type, and year within the generation, so a tank from a mainstream Fiesta may well be compatible if those details align with your ST. However, performance variants can carry specific ancillary or mounting differences, so you should confirm the exact fitment with the breaker against your registration and ST's engine code before purchasing. Providing your full engine code from the V5 is the most reliable way to ensure the breaker sources a suitable match.
