A used fuel tank that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The CLK ran across two main generations: the W208 from 1997 to 2002, and the W209 from 2002 to 2009, with the W209 receiving a facelift in 2005. Knowing which generation your car belongs to is the essential starting point when sourcing a used fuel tank, as parts from one generation will not cross to the other. Check your V5 or run a VIN check if you are unsure which generation you have.
Both years fall within the W209 generation, but your 2006 car sits after the 2005 facelift while the 2004 car is pre-facelift, and ancillary fittings or sender unit connections can change mid-production on tanks like these. The engine code and fuel type are the most important details to match, so supply both your registration and the donor car's details to the breaker and ask them to confirm compatibility across that 2005 facelift boundary before buying.
Yes, fuel type is a critical fitment factor — a tank from a diesel CLK is not a straight swap for a petrol model, as tank capacity, fuel pick-up design, and sender unit calibration can differ. Always confirm the engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) and match it to the donor vehicle's code when speaking to the breaker. Your engine code is the single most reliable detail you can supply.
For the fuel tank, trim level does not affect fitment — the Elegance, Avantgarde, and Sport trims within the same CLK generation share the same mechanical underpinnings, so a tank from one trim will generally suit another of the same generation and engine type. What matters is the engine code, fuel type, and year range, not the trim badge. You may find cosmetic or minor ancillary differences depending on the exact build date, so always confirm with the breaker against your registration.
Both the CLK 200 Kompressor and CLK 320 sit within the same W208 generation (1997–2002), but they carry different engine codes and engine displacements, which can influence fuel system configurations. The tank shape may be shared, but differences in sender units or ancillary connections are possible, so confirm with the breaker that the donor tank's engine code is compatible with yours before committing to a purchase.
Gearbox type can influence fuel tank fitment on some Mercedes-Benz models, as transmission tunnel and floor pan variations occasionally affect tank shape or mounting points. It is not always a factor, but it is worth supplying your gearbox type alongside your engine code and registration when getting a quote from a breaker, so they can confirm the donor tank is a match for your specific car.
