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 CLS W218 generation ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift in 2014, so both years sit within the same generation — however, whether a pre-facelift (2011–2014) tank crosses cleanly to a post-facelift (2014–2018) car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mounting and ancillary details can change at a facelift point. Your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) is the most useful detail to give the breaker. Never assume fitment on year alone.
Fuel type and engine code are the key factors here — both are diesel, but the 250d and 350d use different engine codes and the tank plumbing or sender unit arrangement can differ between them. Always quote your exact engine code to the breaker rather than relying on the badge or displacement alone. Confirm compatibility against your registration before purchasing.
Yes — the W219 (2004–2010) and W218 (2011–2018) are separate generations with different platforms, so their fuel tanks are not the same part. Make sure any donor car the breaker is pulling from matches your generation. Quoting your registration and engine code to the breaker will help them pull the right unit first time.
Yes, fuel type is one of the most important factors for fuel tank compatibility — petrol and diesel variants can differ in tank design, sender unit configuration, and connections. Always tell the breaker whether your car is petrol or diesel, and give them your engine code for certainty. Do not assume a tank from the opposite fuel type will interchange.
No — trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the CLS; the tank follows the engine code, fuel type, and generation rather than the specification level. An AMG Line car and an SE with the same engine code in the same generation should use the same tank. Just be aware that cosmetic parts around the tank area (undertray panels and the like) may differ by trim, but the tank itself should not.
Gearbox type can influence drivetrain layout and occasionally affects how ancillary components are packaged, so it is worth mentioning to the breaker alongside your engine code. For most CLS variants the fuel tank itself is the primary variable driven by engine code and fuel type, but confirm with the breaker against your exact registration to be sure. Giving them your full engine code and VIN is the safest approach.
