VW Beetle fuel tanks
Generally considered a fit and forget part, you may well never have even seen the original VW Beetle fuel tank in your car, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored.

For this reason, we sell a complete range of replacement Beetle fuel tanks, as well as all the necessary seals, pipes and other Beetle fuel tank accessories you may require to overhaul this vital part of your VW Beetle. We also stock spun aluminium tanks for beach buggies, trikes and other custom projects, plus a wide range of VW Beetle filler caps, fuel gauge sender units, fuel hoses, Beetle fuel pumps – both standard Beetle mechanical fuel pumps for dynamo and alternator applications and high pressure VW Beetle fuel injection pumps and rotary fuel pumps, together with numerous other classic Beetle fuel system components.
VW Beetle carburettors
In addition to the fuel system itself, there is the carburettor. Again, like all parts on your classic VW Beetle, the VW Beetle carburettor will be at least 40 years old now and general wear and tear could well be the cause of running problems.

We hold stock of replacement Beetle single progressive carbs, right up to Beetle dual carb kits using twin choke Weber IDF / IDA and EMPI HPMX twins for optimum power, whatever the output of your engine.

History of the VW Beetle
The export models now featured more chrome/aluminium accents in the form of door trims, side and rear window trims. A new decklid handle had also been fitted. On the inside, there was an all new dashboard, the interior light had moved to the B pillar above the door, from between the rear windows, the export model now had a black horn push with a gold Wolfsburg crest, lights and wipers were now operated by pull switches.
Engine wise; the inlet manifold was now pre-heated, export models featured a syncromesh on 2nd, 3rd & 4th gears. Wheel diameter went from 16” to 15”. Of all the Beetles made in 1952, 41.4 were exported, and by the end of the year, daily production was at 734.
There are certain model years along the Beetles’ timeline which heralded major changes, 1953 was probably the first of these. March 10th 1953 saw the last split window Beetle produced, alongside it on the production line was the first of the oval windows. The new rear window design was 23% larger than the previous. There has been debate as to why VW used the split window design in the first place, with people speculating that it was for strength reasons amongst others, whereas it was simply because it was cheaper to produce two smaller pieces of glass than it was to produce one larger one.
On July 3rd 1953, the 500,000th Beetle rolled off the production line, and VW’s employees were given a 2.5m Deutschmark bonus to split between them, a decent sized bonus at the time. 68,784 export models were produced, and VW’s domestic market share was 42.5%. Daily production was 673. Volkswagen de Brasil SA was formed in 1953, with a view to making CKD (Complete Knock Down) kits. In December the 250,000th visitor (since the war) walked through the doors of the Wolfsburg factory. 1953 also marked the introduction of the “oil-bath” type air filter.
1954 brought a new engine for the Beetle, top speed was increased to 68mph, and power was increased from 25hp to 30hp. The majority of the rest of the vehicle remained the same as the previous years.
