Used Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Fuel Tank

The W906 Sprinter ran from 2006 to 2018, with a facelift arriving in 2013 that brought changes to various components. Tanks from within the pre-facelift (2006–2013) or post-facelift (2013–2018) periods are more likely to interchange with each other, but whether a tank crosses that 2013 boundary cleanly depends on mounting points and fuel sender configurations that can vary mid-production — confirm this against your exact registration with the breaker before buying.

The W907 is the third-generation Sprinter, launched in 2018, and represents a significant platform change from the W906 (2006–2018), so the two generations should be treated as non-interchangeable for fuel tanks. Always give the breaker your full registration or engine code so they can confirm whether any overlap exists rather than assuming the part will swap across that 2018 generation boundary.

The number in the Sprinter's badge indicates power output, not a fundamentally different engine family — both the 314 CDI and 316 CDI in the same generation typically share the same engine code family, and the fuel tank fitment follows the engine code rather than the badge number. In practice this means they will very often use the same tank, but you should give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) to be certain, as fuelling system details can vary.

Trim levels like Progressive, Premium, or Tourer on the Sprinter are largely about interior specification and equipment rather than mechanical components, and the fuel tank is determined by engine code, fuel type, and wheelbase rather than trim. You can safely source a tank from any trim level within the same generation and engine family, though the breaker may supply the tank with or without ancillary brackets depending on the donor vehicle, so check what's included.

Your 2012 Sprinter sits in the pre-facelift W906 period (2006–2013), while a 2014 or 2015 van is post-facelift W906 (2013–2018), so you're crossing that 2013 facelift boundary. The generation is the same so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but mounting and sender unit details can differ across that facelift point — share your registration and engine code with the breaker so they can check the specifics before you commit.

Yes, fuel type is one of the most important fitment factors for a fuel tank — diesel and petrol systems use different tank designs, sender units, and pick-up configurations that are not interchangeable. Always confirm your fuel type and engine code with the breaker, as fitting the wrong type of tank is a safety and mechanical risk.
