Fuel Tank for Suzuki Samurai – Fuel Injection Version, OEM Maruti Suzuki

On a Samurai the fuel tank sits low, right above the rear axle, and collects everything the wheels throw at it: water, road salt, grit. After three decades rust works on it from both sides at once, and on cars that stand for seasons there is sediment on the bottom too – the kind that blocks a fuel system faster than any mechanical failure.

This is the OEM Maruti Suzuki tank in the version built for fuel-injected engines, so the shape, mountings and outlets suit that installation instead of forcing you to adapt a carburettor tank.

Key benefits

• Genuine OEM Maruti Suzuki part – shape, mountings and outlets match the factory item, so nothing on the chassis or the fuel lines needs reworking.
• Built specifically for injected engines rather than sold as a universal replacement, which removes the most common mistake when buying a Samurai tank.
• A new tank puts an end to sediment and rust travelling into the filter and pump – fewer fuel system faults in practice.
• Cross-referenced to OE number 89101-70A01, so you can verify the fitment before you order.

Who it is for – for an injected Samurai with a tank eaten through from below, patched with a weld, or ruined by years of standing, where you want a permanent answer rather than another repair. It also belongs on the list for any restoration where the rear underside is coming apart anyway.

Installation notes

Check which fuel system your car runs before ordering – carburettor engines take a different tank. While the tank is out it is worth renewing the filler hoses and clamps and checking the mounts, because rust rarely stops at the tank itself. Szekla4x4 runs its own off-road workshop if you would rather have the job done for you.

Why it is worth it

• Factory geometry instead of a replacement that has to be persuaded into place.
• The correct version for an injected engine – less risk of fuel supply trouble after fitting.
• A new tank crosses off one of the classic weak points of a thirty-year-old Samurai.

If the rear end of the car is coming apart anyway, do the tank in the same session – you will not want to go back in there twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tank fit a carburettor Samurai?

No. This is the fuel-injection version. For carburettor engines we stock a separate tank, part number NOM-8910180003SS.

Is it a genuine part?

Yes, the supplier lists it as OEM (Maruti Suzuki).

Which OE number does it correspond to?

89101-70A01 – the same number is built into the product part number.

Does fitting require modifications?

It is an OEM part, so the shape and mountings match the factory tank. While it is out, check the filler hoses and the tank mounts.
