Hyundai i20 Fuel Tanks
Fuel Tanks for the Hyundai i20 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which i20 you are running. Find quality Hyundai i20 salvage yard at our facility.
What Are Hyundai i20 Fuel Tanks?
The fuel tank stores petrol or diesel on your Hyundai — typically a pressed-steel or moulded-plastic unit slung under the rear floorpan. Hyundai H1 and H100 models suffer filler-neck corrosion and the Accent CRDi has a famous fuel-drain-back problem. SA used-tank supply is strong through our supplier network.

i20 Fuel Tanks: what actually decides fitment
On the i20, PB, then GB, then the current BC3 are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.The PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it.
- 1
Find the generation code on your i20 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The i20 ran Kappa 1.2, Gamma 1.4 and Kappa 1.0 T-GDi (N Line) in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the fuel tanks you are after , along with the engine code, and whether the car is CRDi diesel, GDi or conventional petrol. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the i20shares its Kappa and Gamma engine families with the Kia Rio — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the i20 is mostly a high-mileage commuter hatch that spends its life in stop-start city traffic, which is why wear items move faster on an i20 than on almost anything else Hyundai sells here. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i20 Fuel Tanks FAQs
Will fuel tanks from another i20 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i20 sold in South Africa as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, and the PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
What should I send you when asking about i20 fuel tanks?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The i20 ran as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does a Hyundai fuel tank cost in South Africa?
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.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai fuel tank?
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.
What are the symptoms of a Hyundai fuel tank leak?
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.
Can a leaking Hyundai fuel tank be repaired?
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.
Why is fuel leaking from my Hyundai when I fill up?
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.
