Fitment questions

What years does the Mercedes-Benz ML fuel tank fit across?

The ML has three well-established generations: the W163 (1998–2005), the W164 (2005–2011), and the W166 (2011–2019, with a facelift in 2015). Fuel tanks are generation-specific, so a tank from the W163 will not suit a W164 or W166. Within a generation, fitment depends heavily on engine code and fuel type, so always supply your registration or VIN to the breaker.

Will a pre-facelift W166 ML fuel tank fit a post-facelift 2015 onwards ML?

The W166 ran from 2011 to 2019 with a facelift introduced in 2015, and the tank itself may be shared across that span, but ancillary fittings, sender unit connections, and mounting points can change mid-production. Name the boundary to your breaker and ask them to cross-reference your exact registration rather than assuming pre- and post-facelift tanks are a straight swap.

Does the fuel tank from a diesel ML fit a petrol ML of the same year?

No — diesel and petrol fuel tanks are not interchangeable because the filler neck, vapour recovery system, and internal geometry differ between fuel types. Always confirm your fuel type alongside your engine code when requesting a quote; giving the breaker your engine code (found on the V5 or via a VIN check) is the single most reliable way to get the right part.

Does the trim level matter — will an ML250 tank fit an ML350?

Trim or badge level does not affect the fuel tank on the Mercedes ML; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and the generation the vehicle belongs to. The ML250 and ML350 badges indicate different engines, so the relevant detail is the engine code stamped on your V5 rather than the badge on the tailgate. Supply your engine code to the breaker and they can confirm compatibility directly.

Does a W164 ML350 petrol tank fit a W164 ML300 petrol?

Both are petrol W164 models, but the engine codes differ and that can affect tank specification, sender unit wiring, and pump fitment. Confirm the exact engine codes for both donor and recipient vehicles with the breaker, who can cross-reference against your registration to check whether the tanks are interchangeable — never assume badge similarity means part compatibility.

Can I fit a used ML fuel tank myself, or does it need coding?

The fuel tank itself is a mechanical component and does not typically require ECU pairing, but whether any associated fuel pump module or sender unit needs configuration to your vehicle is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. A used tank still needs correct fitment for your engine code and fuel type before anything else is considered.
