Nissan Note Fuel Tank Replacement Parts

The Nissan Note in the UK ran across two main generations: the first generation (E11) covered 2006 to 2013, with a facelift arriving around 2009, and the second generation (E12) ran from 2013 onwards. For a fuel tank, staying within the correct generation is the starting point, but engine code and fuel type matter more than the year alone. Always confirm the exact generation against your registration before ordering.

Both a 2008 and a 2011 Note fall within the first-generation E11 (2006–2013), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but the 2009 facelift introduced changes to various components and it is not confirmed that the fuel tank was unaffected. Supply your engine code to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference against your specific build year rather than assuming all E11 tanks interchange freely. Never guarantee fitment without that check.

The E11 (2006–2013) and E12 (2013 onwards) are distinct generations with different underpinnings, so crossing that boundary for a fuel tank is a significant risk. Confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mounting points, sender unit position and tank shape are likely to differ between generations. Do not assume compatibility across this boundary.

Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the Nissan Note — Visia, Acenta and Tekna are specification grades, not mechanical variants, so the tank itself is determined by engine code, fuel type and generation rather than the badge on the tailgate. You may receive a tank with minor ancillary differences such as sender wiring connectors, so confirm those details with the breaker against your registration. The trim name alone is not a useful fitment reference for this part.

Yes, fuel type is a key fitment factor — petrol and diesel tanks can differ in shape, capacity, venting and sender unit design, so always specify your fuel type when contacting a breaker. The engine code from your V5 or a VIN check is the most reliable way to confirm this, and reputable breakers will want that detail before quoting. Never assume a diesel tank will drop straight into a petrol Note or vice versa.

Yes — the engine code sits above model year and trim in importance because Nissan fitted different engines at different points within the same generation, and ancillary components including tank-related fittings can follow the engine rather than the calendar year. You will find the engine code on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker gives them the clearest basis for matching a compatible used tank. Year and fuel type are still useful supporting details, but the engine code is your single most valuable piece of information.
