The Wacker Neuson Fuel Tank Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for BPU 5045A and BPU 5545A series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications of the original tank assembly installed at the factory. It is confirmed compatible with the BPU 5045A, BPU 5545A, and BPU 5545A US models, covering both standard and US-market configurations. When it comes to a fuel system component, using the correct OEM part ensures a proper seal, correct capacity, and dependable fuel delivery to the engine.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Fuel Containment — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original tank specifications, ensuring correct fuel volume, port placement, and material compatibility with diesel fuel systems.
- Direct-Fit Assembly — Complete tank unit installs using the original mounting points and connections on BPU 5045A and BPU 5545A compactors — no adaptation or modification needed.
- Broad BPU Series Coverage — Fits BPU 5045A, BPU 5545A, and BPU 5545A US variants, making this a single correct part across multiple reversible plate compactor configurations.
- Fuel System Integrity — A complete tank replacement eliminates the risk of fuel leaks, hairline cracks, or degraded fittings that can compromise engine performance and cause unplanned shutdowns during compaction work.
- Fuel Safety Compliance — Using a genuine OEM tank assembly ensures the fuel system meets the original design's containment and venting standards, which is critical for safe operation around combustion engines on active worksites.
The fuel tank stores and supplies diesel fuel to the engine that drives the BPU series reversible vibratory plate compactor's exciter mechanism. It must maintain a leak-free seal under vibration, temperature cycling, and the physical demands of daily compaction work on soil and aggregate. A cracked, damaged, or deteriorated tank can starve the engine of fuel, cause dangerous leaks, or result in contamination of the fuel supply — any of which will take the machine out of service. Replacing the tank as a complete assembly — rather than patching individual components — restores full system integrity and gets the compactor back to reliable operation.
