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

Matrix Fuel Tanks: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
Sold here across FC, the Matrix is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.
The tall MPV body is Matrix-specific but much of what is underneath it is Elantra XD, so mechanical parts and body parts come from two different sourcing pools.
Worth knowing: the Matrixbuilt on the running gear of the Elantra XD, which widens the sourcing net considerably.
What we check on fuel tanks
- •The generation code, because Matrix parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Matrix was sold with Alpha 1.6 and Beta 1.8
- •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 Matrix is mostly a compact people-carrier kept by families for the space, long after new-parts support tapered off. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Matrix Fuel Tanks FAQs
Will fuel tanks from another Matrix fit mine?
Not automatically. The Matrix sold in South Africa as FC, and the tall MPV body is Matrix-specific but much of what is underneath it is Elantra XD, so mechanical parts and body parts come from two different sourcing pools. 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 Matrix 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 Matrix ran as FC, 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.
