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:
The Mazda CX-5 ran as a first generation from 2012 to 2017, with the second generation starting in 2017, so a 2015 tank and a 2018 tank come from different generations and are unlikely to be a straight swap. Name the boundary confidently: the first-gen to second-gen changeover means mounting points, sender unit positions, and fuel line connections may differ. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as they can cross-reference the specific part numbers for your build.
Yes, fuel type is a key fitment factor — petrol and diesel CX-5s use different tanks due to differences in fuel system components, filler neck design, and in-tank sender unit configuration. Always specify your fuel type clearly when requesting a quote, and supply your engine code from your V5C or a VIN check to make sure the breaker matches the right tank to your car. Fitting the wrong type could cause serious running or safety issues.
Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the CX-5 — SE, SE-L, Sport, Sport Nav, and GT Sport trims all use the same tank for a given engine and generation. The tank is a mechanical component determined by engine code, fuel type, and generation, not by the badge on the tailgate. You may receive a tank pulled from a different trim to yours, which is perfectly fine — just confirm engine code and generation match with the breaker.
The engine code is the single most useful detail you can supply — for the CX-5 this is typically a Skyactiv-G code for petrol engines or a Skyactiv-D code for diesels, and the specific variant can affect fuel system components. You'll find the engine code on your V5C logbook or through a VIN check, and breakers will use it to pinpoint the right tank for your vehicle. Providing the code upfront saves time and reduces the risk of ordering an incompatible part.
The first-generation CX-5 ran from 2012 to 2017, with a facelift arriving in 2015 that brought styling and some mechanical updates. Whether a pre-facelift tank crosses over to a post-2015 first-gen car is something to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production. Within the same generation a tank may well interchange, but let the breaker verify part numbers before you commit.
Gearbox type can be a relevant fitment factor for fuel tanks because the tank shape and mounting positions are sometimes influenced by drivetrain layout, particularly where all-wheel drive variants are concerned. Supply your gearbox type alongside your engine code and fuel type when getting a quote, and ask the breaker to confirm compatibility against your registration. This is especially worth checking if you are sourcing a tank across different drivetrain configurations within the same generation.
