The Wacker Neuson Water Tank is a genuine OEM component designed for RD12 and RD16 series tandem rollers, including the RD12-90, RD12A-90, RD16-90, and RD16-100. This is a direct OEM replacement sourced to the original specification, ensuring a correct install with no guesswork on fitment. Compatible across multiple machine configurations within the RD12 and RD16 families — including solid ROPS, foldable ROPS, and hydrostatic variants — the covers a wide range of walk-behind and ride-on tandem roller builds. When your water system is compromised, asphalt sticks to the drums and compaction quality suffers fast; replacing the tank with a genuine Wacker Neuson part gets your roller back to producing a clean, consistent mat.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional standards, so the tank seats, seals, and connects exactly as the original did.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Mounts to OEM bracket points on RD12 and RD16 series rollers without modification to mounting hardware or fluid lines.
- Broad RD-Series Compatibility — Fits RD12-90, RD12A-90, RD16-90, and RD16-100 machines across solid ROPS, foldable ROPS, and hydrostatic configurations.
- Protects Drum Surface During Compaction — A functioning water tank keeps drum surfaces continuously wetted, preventing hot asphalt from bonding to the steel and preserving mat finish quality on every pass.
- Verified Part Number — Ordering by OEM part number 5000163265 eliminates the risk of receiving an incompatible tank from the same visual-fit family.
The water tank on a tandem asphalt roller stores the supply of water fed continuously to the drum wetting system. During asphalt compaction passes, a thin film of water on each drum prevents the hot mix from sticking to the steel surface — without it, material transfer builds up on the drums, creating surface defects in the mat and forcing costly rework. A cracked, leaking, or missing tank starves the wetting system and brings productive compaction to a halt, making a timely replacement essential to maintaining output on any paving job.
