The bracket in question is specifically designed for the structures used in Mercedes W176 and W246 models, meaning full compatibility with factory mounting points. The absence of the need for body or fuel tank modifications simplifies installation and reduces service time.
This part belongs to the Fuel Tanks & Filler Necks group, so its correct selection directly impacts the system’s tightness, safety, and operational smoothness. In cases of post-accident repairs or mounting corrosion, using the appropriate bracket allows for the restoration of the vehicle’s original operational parameters.
Part Characteristics and Condition
The bracket is an original Mercedes part, ensuring compliance with the manufacturer’s service documentation and predictable performance under load. The design has been developed for long-term operation in demanding road conditions, considering exposure to moisture, dirt, and temperature changes.
The product is used, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative while maintaining the proper quality standard. For workshops and individual users, this means the possibility of an economical repair without compromising the original assembly geometry.
Installation and Practical Benefits
Selecting the correct right-side fuel tank mounting bracket allows you to:
- maintain the tank in a stable position relative to the body,
- reduce stress on the fuel filler necks and lines,
- minimize the risk of noises and knocks originating from the tank area,
