Hyundai Atos Fuel Tanks

Not automatically. The Atos sold in South Africa as MX, including the Atos Prime, and the Prime restyle changed the exterior substantially while leaving the Epsilon driveline largely alone — body parts and mechanical parts therefore need to be sourced on different criteria. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

Usually, yes. The Atos the Atos Prime is a reworked Atos rather than a separate car, so much of the catalogue overlaps, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.

Real SA pricing — fuel-supply parts range R300-R2,700 and used Hyundai fuel tanks run R500-R9,700+ depending on model and condition. H1, H100 and Accent CRDi tanks are common stock. Send your VIN for an exact quote.

Parts vary from around R500 (used Getz/i20) to R10,000+ (new H1 or H100 commercial tanks). Labour is typically three to four hours — the tank has to drop clear, which means emptying fuel first. Send your VIN and tank condition for a full quote.

A strong fuel smell under the car or in the cabin, visible drips on your driveway, fuel gauge misreading and rust staining around the filler or tank seams. On H1 and H100 models, filler-neck corrosion is the classic SA failure point.

Plastic tanks can sometimes be plastic-welded; steel tanks with pinhole rust can be patched. Neither is a long-term fix — we always recommend replacement. Fuel leaks are a fire hazard and will fail your next roadworthy. Get it sorted, not patched.

Most commonly a cracked filler neck or a failed vent line — both documented Hyundai H1 and H100 issues, plus older Accent CRDi with rust. A perished filler hose between neck and tank is the other common culprit. Scan for EVAP fault codes to confirm.
