VW Super Beetle Fuel Injection Gas Tank – 133-201-075G
Restore the integrity of your fuel system with this high-quality reproduction gas tank. Specifically engineered for the later-model Super Beetle, the 133-201-075G is the correct "dual-feed" tank required for factory L-Jetronic fuel injection systems. Unlike earlier carburetor tanks, this version features two specialized 7mm ports at the bottom—one for the high-pressure fuel supply and a second for the return line from the pressure regulator.
Constructed from heavy 20-gauge (1mm) steel and pressure tested to 80KPA, this tank is built to withstand the demands of a high-pressure fuel system. The interior is treated with a zinc-plated, corrosion-inhibiting coating to prevent the rust and scale buildup that commonly clogs expensive fuel injectors and pumps. With a 10.6-gallon (40-liter) capacity, it is a direct-fit replacement that accepts your stock sending unit and filler neck.

Installation & Maintenance Tips Flush Before Use: Even new tanks can contain manufacturing debris or protective shipping oils. It is highly recommended to flush the tank with a small amount of clean gasoline before final installation.
New Seals are Mandatory: To prevent leaks and fuel odors in the trunk, always use a new gas tank-to-body seal and a fresh fuel sending unit seal.
Check Port Sizes: Note that some aftermarket replacement tanks may use slightly different nipple sizes than the original German lines. Ensure you have high-quality 7mm fuel-injection rated hose and clamps ready for the bottom connections.
Vapor Line Inspection: While the tank is out, inspect the plastic charcoal canister lines and the expansion tank hoses. Cracked vapor lines are the primary cause of gasoline smells inside the cabin of late Super Beetles.
