The Wacker Neuson 5100012697 is a genuine OEM Fuel Tank designed for the RD18 series tandem rollers and RC50 and RC70 series single-drum soil compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through authorized Wacker Neuson supply channels, the 5100012697 matches the original tank in geometry, capacity, and mounting configuration — no fabrication or adaptation needed. This part covers an extensive range of RD18 and RC variants, including the RD18-80, RD18-100, RD18-100C, RC50, RC50P, RC70, RC70P, and RC70VO models. When your fuel tank is cracked, leaking, or otherwise compromised, replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps fuel delivery consistent and your machine running at full capacity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to the same material and dimensional standards as the original tank, ensuring correct wall thickness and fuel-resistance properties for diesel service.
- Drop-In Mounting Compatibility — Retains the original mounting points, fittings, and port locations so it installs directly into the existing tank bay without modification.
- Broad RD18 and RC Series Coverage — Fits RD18-80, RD18-100, and RD18-100C tandem rollers as well as RC50, RC50P, RC70, RC70P, and RC70VO single-drum soil compactors across multiple production runs.
- Fuel System Integrity — A structurally sound tank maintains consistent fuel delivery to the engine; a cracked or leaking tank causes fuel starvation, unplanned shutdowns, and potential site safety hazards.
- Leak and Fire Risk Mitigation — Fuel system components are a critical safety item; using a verified OEM tank eliminates the risk of improper sealing or port misalignment that can lead to fuel leaks on an operating machine.
The fuel tank stores the diesel supply that feeds the engine powering the roller's propulsion and vibration systems. It must maintain a sealed, contamination-free environment to protect injectors and the fuel system from debris and moisture. A cracked, corroded, or leaking tank will starve the engine of fuel, cause erratic operation, or force a full shutdown — and on a compactor working a live paving or grading site, that lost production time adds up fast. Replacing a damaged tank with the correct OEM part restores full fuel capacity and keeps the machine operating safely through demanding compaction cycles.
