Used Nissan NP300 Fuel Tank

The NP300 Navara (D23) runs from 2016 onwards in the UK, and while it shares its D23 platform throughout, Nissan did introduce running production changes over the years that can affect tank mountings and ancillary fittings. Name the boundary and be cautious crossing it: confirm with your breaker against your exact registration before buying, as a tank from an early 2016 car may not drop straight onto a later example without modification. Your engine code from the V5 or a VIN check is the single most useful detail you can give the breaker.

Yes, fuel type matters: the NP300 Navara sold in the UK is overwhelmingly diesel, but if a petrol variant was also offered in the market the tank design will differ and you must match fuel type exactly. Stick to a diesel tank for a diesel vehicle and supply your engine code to the breaker so they can cross-reference the correct unit. Never assume a tank is interchangeable purely because it looks the same externally.

Gearbox type can influence fuel tank shape or positioning on body-on-frame pickups because the transmission tunnel and underbody packaging sometimes differs between manual and automatic variants. Supply your gearbox type alongside your engine code when requesting a quote from the breaker, as they will need both details to confirm the correct tank. Confirm fitment against your registration rather than assuming all NP300 tanks are shared across gearbox types.

Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the NP300 Navara: the tank is a mechanical, underbody component and Tekna, Acenta, and SE models share the same engine and drivetrain combinations that determine which tank fits. What can differ between trim levels is cosmetic equipment rather than anything relevant to the fuel system, so don't pay a premium for a Tekna-sourced tank when an Acenta unit with the same engine code will do the same job. Always cross-reference by engine code and fuel type with the breaker to be certain.

The 2WD and 4WD variants of the NP300 Navara can have differences in underbody layout that affect how the fuel tank sits and how it is mounted, so this is not a straightforward swap. Give the breaker your drivetrain type alongside your engine code and registration so they can check whether the specific tank from their donor vehicle crosses over to yours. Do not assume fitment without the breaker confirming it against your registration.

The D23-generation NP300 Navara covers 2016 onwards in the UK, so on paper you are within the same generation, but mid-production ancillary and mounting changes can occur without a formal facelift and these are not always publicly documented. The safest approach is to provide your full registration or VIN and engine code to the breaker, who can compare part numbers from their donor vehicle against yours before you commit. This is the standard recommendation for any used fuel tank purchase regardless of apparent year compatibility.
