The Wacker Neuson Fuel Tank Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for VP and AP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R. As a factory-sourced assembly, the is manufactured to the exact dimensions and material standards of the original tank, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation on compatible machines. This complete assembly ships ready to mount, with no fabrication or adaptation needed to restore proper fuel system function to your plate compactor.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to original design tolerances, with the correct wall thickness, fittings, and fuel-resistant material grade required for long-term compatibility with gasoline and the machine's fuel delivery system.
- Complete Assembly — Supplied as a full tank assembly, so all integrated fittings, mounts, and connections are included — drop-in replacement with no sourcing of additional components.
- Broad VP and AP Series Fitment — Compatible with the VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R single-direction vibratory plate compactors, covering both standard and asphalt-configured variants.
- Consistent Fuel Delivery — A sound, properly sealed tank maintains steady fuel flow to the engine, supporting consistent compaction output across soil, aggregate, and asphalt applications.
- Fuel System Integrity — A cracked or degraded tank risks fuel leaks at the worksite. Replacing with a verified OEM assembly restores containment and eliminates contamination risk to the engine and surrounding ground.
The fuel tank stores the gasoline supply that feeds the engine powering the vibratory plate's compaction force. It works in conjunction with the fuel cap, petcock, and fuel line to deliver a steady, clean supply of fuel to the carburetor under operating conditions. When the tank cracks, warps, or develops leaks — whether from impact, UV degradation, or age — fuel delivery becomes inconsistent and the machine may lose power, fail to start, or present a spill hazard. Replacing the tank assembly restores the integrity of the entire fuel circuit and gets the plate compactor back to full working condition.
