Wacker Neuson 5000172456 Fuel Tank Bracket

The Wacker Neuson Fuel Tank Bracket is a genuine OEM component designed for E5000 Ground Heaters and CH5000 Cross Heaters. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this bracket meets the exact specifications of the original part, ensuring a correct, secure mount for the fuel tank on your heating equipment. It is compatible across multiple E5000 configurations — including gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator/diesel variants — as well as CH5000 Cross Heater models equipped with oil burners and integrated generators. When your existing bracket is cracked, corroded, or damaged, replacing it with part number restores proper fuel tank positioning and keeps your heater operating safely.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design tolerances, ensuring the bracket holds the correct geometry and load-bearing capacity for secure fuel tank retention.
• Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and hardware interface on E5000 and CH5000 heater frames, so installation follows the standard service procedure without reworking the mounting area.
• Broad Heater Compatibility — Fits E5000 Ground Heaters (gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator/diesel) and CH5000 Cross Heaters with oil burner and generator configurations.
• Fuel System Stability — A properly mounted fuel tank bracket prevents tank movement and vibration during operation, protecting fuel line connections and reducing stress on the tank itself.
• Fuel System Safety — A failed or missing bracket allows the fuel tank to shift under load, creating a risk of fuel line stress, leaks, or disconnection — making prompt replacement critical on any active heating unit.

The fuel tank bracket secures the fuel tank to the heater's main frame, keeping it firmly in position during transport and operation. Without a solid mounting point, the tank can move under vibration or handling stress, placing strain on fuel lines and fittings and increasing the risk of leaks. On ground heaters and cross heaters that see frequent repositioning on job sites, a damaged or broken bracket should be replaced before the unit is returned to service.
