Choosing the right used Ford S-Max fuel tank
Used fuel tanks vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
- State whether it's petrol, diesel or hybrid
- State if it's 2WD or 4WD

Fitment questions
What years does a Ford S-Max fuel tank fit across?
The S-Max ran in two main generations: the first generation covered 2006 to 2015, and the second generation ran from 2015 onwards. Within each generation, fuel tanks are broadly compatible provided the engine code and fuel type match, but always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Will a fuel tank from a 2013 S-Max fit a 2015 S-Max?
2013 sits in the first-generation S-Max (2006–2015) and 2015 is the changeover year into the second generation, so you are right on the boundary between two distinct platforms. Because the second-generation S-Max moved to a different bodyshell and underpinnings, a first-gen tank is very unlikely to be a direct fit for a second-gen car, but confirm the exact compatibility with the breaker against both registrations to be sure.
Does the trim level affect which fuel tank fits my S-Max – for example, does a Titanium tank differ from an Edge or Zetec?
Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the S-Max – the tank is determined by engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and the model year within the generation, not by whether the car is a Zetec, Titanium, or Edge. You may find minor ancillary differences such as sender unit connections depending on production date, so ask the breaker to cross-reference both registrations to confirm those details match.
Does the engine code really matter when buying a used S-Max fuel tank?
Yes – engine code is the most important detail for matching a fuel tank correctly, outweighing the badge or model year alone, because different engines can share a production year but use different tank configurations. You will find the engine code on your V5C or via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker will give you the most accurate match.
Will a diesel S-Max fuel tank fit a petrol S-Max of the same year?
No – petrol and diesel fuel tanks are not interchangeable, as they are designed for different fuel systems and filler necks. Always specify your fuel type clearly when requesting a quote from a breaker, alongside your engine code and registration.
I have a 2009 S-Max – will a fuel tank from a 2012 S-Max fit it?
Both 2009 and 2012 fall within the first-generation S-Max (2006–2015), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes and fuel types match. However, there were running production changes during this generation that could affect mounting points or ancillary connections, so ask the breaker to check both registrations carefully before you commit to a purchase.
