The Wacker Neuson Fuel Tank is a genuine OEM component designed for E5000 and CH5000 series ground heaters. As a direct OEM replacement, this fuel tank is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original part, ensuring a proper fit within the heater's fuel delivery system. Compatible across multiple E5000 configurations — including gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator diesel variants — as well as CH5000 Cross Heater models with oil burner and generator setups. When it's time to restore full heating output on the jobsite, sourcing the correct OEM part number is the first step.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and capacity specifications, so the tank holds and delivers fuel exactly as the heater's burner system expects.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the mounting points, inlet/outlet connections, and dimensions of the original tank for a straightforward swap with no improvised fitment.
- Broad E5000 & CH5000 Compatibility — Fits E5000 ground heaters in gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator diesel configurations, plus CH5000 Cross Heaters with oil burner and generator variants.
- Fuel System Integrity — A sound, correctly fitted tank prevents fuel leaks and maintains consistent fuel supply to the burner, keeping heating output steady during cold-weather ground thawing operations.
- Fuel Safety Compliance — On any heating appliance, a damaged or leaking fuel tank presents a fire and fume hazard; replacing it with a genuine OEM unit restores the intended safety margins of the original design.
The fuel tank stores and supplies the fuel — gasoline, diesel, or oil depending on the heater variant — that feeds the burner unit in Wacker Neuson E5000 and CH5000 ground heaters. A properly sealed and intact tank is essential for consistent burner operation: if the tank cracks, corrodes, or develops a leak, fuel delivery becomes unreliable and the risk of fire or fuel contamination increases significantly. Replacing a worn or damaged tank with a genuine OEM part restores the heater's designed fuel capacity and ensures the connections to the burner and fuel lines seat correctly.
