Restore the Core of Your Classic.

A fuel system is only as reliable as its foundation. For the 1956–1960 Type 1 Beetle and Karmann Ghia, the fuel tank is more than just a container—it’s a critical component of a period-correct restoration. This EMPI replacement tank is engineered to mirror the original factory dimensions, providing a seamless drop-in fit for your early air-cooled project.

Whether you are performing a concourse-level restoration or getting a weekend cruiser back on the road, this tank eliminates the headaches of rusted-out originals and clogged lines.
