Hyundai ix35 Fuel Tanks
Fuel Tanks for the Hyundai ix35 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which ix35 you are running
What Are Hyundai ix35 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.

How we match fuel tanks to your ix35
What changes across the range
ix35 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — LM all sold here.
Because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not.
Worth knowing: the ix35mechanically the same vehicle as the LM-generation Tucson, and a close relative of the Kia Sportage SL.
What we check on fuel tanks
- •The generation code, because ix35 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this ix35 was sold with Theta II 2.0 and R-line 2.0 CRDi
- •The engine code, and whether the car is CRDi diesel, GDi or conventional petrol
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the ix35 is mostly sold in big numbers as a mid-size family SUV and now firmly in the second- and third-owner phase, where turbo, injector and body-panel demand peaks. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai ix35 Fuel Tanks FAQs
Will fuel tanks from another ix35 fit mine?
Not automatically. The ix35 sold in South Africa as LM, and because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not. 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 ix35 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 ix35 ran as LM, 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.
