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

Tiburon Fuel Tanks: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
The Tiburon reached South Africa as the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form, and that alone changes what fits.
The coupe body panels, glass and lighting are Tiburon-only, even where the engine and gearbox parts interchange with the Elantra of the same period.
Worth knowing: the Tiburonshares core running gear with the Elantra XD, which is the practical route to many mechanical parts.
What we check on fuel tanks
- •The generation code, because Tiburon parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Tiburon was sold with Beta II 2.0 and Delta 2.7 V6
- •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 Tiburon is mostly an enthusiast car with an active owner community, where the split between shared mechanical parts and unique body parts defines what is easy to find. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Tiburon Fuel Tanks FAQs
Will fuel tanks from another Tiburon fit mine?
Not automatically. The Tiburon sold in South Africa as the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form, and the coupe body panels, glass and lighting are Tiburon-only, even where the engine and gearbox parts interchange with the Elantra of the same period. 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 Tiburon 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 Tiburon ran as the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form, 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.
