The Wacker Neuson 5000179162 Fuel Tank is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS65-V, BS70-2, and BS70-2i series gasoline vibratory rammers, as well as the MS52 and MS62 series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fuel tank matches the original part in material, capacity, and mounting configuration — ensuring a straightforward, confidence-inspiring replacement. It covers a broad range of BS-series rammer configurations including standard, EU-spec, and integrated fuel injection (i) variants across the BS50-2, BS60-2, and BS70-2 families.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Molded to the exact wall thickness and fuel-resistant material spec of the original, preventing warping, cracking, and seepage that lower-grade substitutes may develop under continuous vibration.
- Drop-In Mounting Fit — Retains the factory mounting points and fuel line port positions of the original tank, so no drilling, adapting, or hose re-routing is needed during installation.
- Broad BS-Series Coverage — Verified fitment across BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS65-V, BS70-2, and BS70-2i rammers in both standard and EU-spec configurations, plus MS52 and MS62 units.
- Sustained Fuel Delivery — A sound, sealed tank maintains consistent fuel feed to the carburetor; a cracked or compromised tank causes lean-running conditions, hard starts, and unplanned stoppages mid-compaction.
- Fuel System Integrity — A fuel-tight OEM tank eliminates external leaks that present a fire hazard on hot-running rammers — particularly important in enclosed trench and utility work environments.
The fuel tank stores and supplies gasoline to the engine carburetor, acting as the primary reservoir that keeps the rammer running through each compaction cycle. On a vibratory rammer, the tank is subjected to constant high-frequency vibration, which over time can stress and crack a worn or inferior tank, leading to fuel leaks, air ingestion, and engine starvation. Replacing a damaged tank with a genuine OEM unit restores the sealed, stable fuel supply the engine needs to deliver full compaction force reliably throughout the workday.
