Original 82-Liter Steel Fuel Tank - Mercedes-Benz W111 / W108 / W109 (280 SE 3.5 V8)

This is a genuine 82-Liter OEM Stamped Steel Fuel Tank, originally equipped on the V8-powered (M116 engine) 3.5 models of the classic Mercedes-Benz W111, W108, and W109 chassis to accommodate their higher fuel consumption. This vintage factory component retains its authentic ribbed structural stamping, internal baffling, and original anti-vibration mounting pads, making it an essential piece for a period-correct restoration.
