We stock products from specialist manufacturers and suppliers including Piaggio, Scootopia, MEC EUR, BGM, SIP Scooter Shop and other established Vespa parts manufacturers.
Always check your exact Vespa model and whether the scooter is equipped with an oil injection/mixer system, as fuel tanks and associated components can vary between models.
Vespa PX, PE & T5 Fuel Tanks
The fuel tank is one of the most important components of your Vespa's fuel system.
A good-quality fuel tank should provide a reliable supply of petrol to the fuel tap and carburettor while remaining securely mounted inside the frame.
Scooter Vista stocks Vespa PX, PE and T5 fuel tanks and related components for suitable applications.
When replacing a fuel tank, it is worth checking the condition of the complete fuel system, including:
- Fuel tank
- Fuel tap
- Fuel tap gasket
- Fuel hose
- Fuel hose clips
- Tank mounting
- Fuel tank cap
- Tank venting
- Carburettor
- Oil mixer components where fitted
If an older tank contains rust, sediment or contaminated fuel, the complete fuel system should be inspected and cleaned before returning the scooter to use.
Vespa PX Fuel Tanks
The Vespa PX fuel tank is designed to sit beneath the seat and supply petrol to the engine via the fuel tap and fuel hose.
Different PX models can have different fuel-system configurations, particularly between scooters fitted with and without oil injection.
Before ordering a replacement tank, check:
- Vespa PX model
- Model year
- Oil mixer or non-mixer specification
- Tank shape
- Fuel tap arrangement
- Tank fittings
- Fuel gauge arrangement where applicable
A tank that physically fits into the frame may not necessarily have the correct fittings for your particular fuel system.
Vespa PE Fuel Tanks
Vespa PE models share many components with PX scooters, but compatibility should still be checked before ordering.
When replacing a PE fuel tank, inspect the condition of the fuel tap, tank gasket and fuel hose at the same time.
If the scooter has been standing for a long period, check the inside of the tank carefully for:
- Rust
- Dirt
- Old fuel deposits
- Water contamination
- Corrosion around the fuel tap mounting
A clean and sound fuel tank is essential for reliable fuel delivery.
Vespa T5 Fuel Tanks
The Vespa T5 has its own specific components and should not automatically be assumed to use the same fuel tank parts as a PX or PE.
When ordering T5 fuel tank components, check the exact application and compare the replacement component with the original.
Pay particular attention to:
- Tank dimensions
- Fuel tap fitting
- Oil mixer arrangement
- Tank cap
- Fuel gauge components
- Mounting points
Vespa Oil Mixer Tanks
Vespa PX and other suitable models can be fitted with an oil mixer/oil injection system, allowing two-stroke oil to be automatically mixed with the petrol as the engine runs.
The oil mixer system uses a separate oil reservoir incorporated into the fuel tank arrangement.
This means the fuel tank assembly on an oil-injected Vespa can contain additional components that are not present on a non-mixer model.
When replacing or restoring an oil mixer tank, check all of the associated components rather than treating the tank as an isolated part.
Vespa PX Oil Mixer Parts
A correctly functioning oil mixer system is essential on a Vespa that relies on automatic oil injection.
Depending on the model and system, components can include:
- Oil mixer tank
- Oil mixer pump
- Oil mixer drive
- Oil delivery pipe
- Oil tank cap
- Oil tank fittings
- Oil mixer adjustment components
- Oil mixer gasket and sealing components
If any part of the system is damaged, blocked or incorrectly assembled, the engine may not receive the correct amount of two-stroke oil.
This makes careful inspection particularly important when restoring a scooter that has been stored for a long period.
Vespa Oil Mixer Problems
If an oil-injected Vespa has an oil mixer problem, don't simply assume that the pump itself is faulty.
Check the complete system, including:
- Oil level
- Oil tank
- Oil pipe
- Oil pipe connections
- Oil mixer pump
- Mixer drive
- Pump adjustment
- Air leaks
- Blockages
- Correct assembly
Oil lines can become brittle or damaged with age, while old oil can leave deposits inside components.
If the scooter has been unused for many years, the oil mixer system should be carefully inspected before the engine is returned to regular use.
Vespa Oil Tank & Oil Pipe
The oil pipe carries two-stroke oil from the oil reservoir to the mixer system.
A damaged or incorrectly fitted oil pipe can cause serious problems.
When servicing an oil mixer Vespa, check for:
- Cracked pipe
- Hardened pipe
- Loose connections
- Kinks
- Blockages
- Incorrect routing
The oil pipe should be correctly routed and securely connected.
If there is any doubt about the condition of an old oil pipe, replacing it is sensible preventative maintenance.
Vespa Fuel Tank Caps
The fuel tank cap helps protect the fuel system from dirt and contamination.
Depending on the model, different fuel tank cap designs and fittings may be used.
When replacing a fuel tank cap, check that:
- It fits the tank correctly
- The seal is in good condition
- The venting arrangement is correct where applicable
- It does not interfere with the seat
- It securely closes the tank
A damaged or incorrect cap can allow contamination into the fuel system or cause fuel-delivery problems if the tank cannot vent correctly.
Vespa Fuel Tank & Fuel Tap
The fuel tank and fuel tap work together to supply petrol to the carburettor.
If you're replacing a fuel tank, it is worth inspecting the fuel tap at the same time.
Check:
- Fuel tap condition
- Fuel tap gasket
- Fuel tap lever
- Tank outlet
- Fuel hose
- Fuel hose routing
A new tank fitted with an old, restricted fuel tap can still suffer from poor fuel delivery.
For performance engines, a suitable fast-flow fuel tap may also be worth considering, depending on the carburettor and engine specification.
Vespa Fuel Tank Rust
Rust inside an older fuel tank can cause ongoing fuel-system problems.
Rust particles can travel through the fuel system and potentially block:
- Fuel tap
- Fuel hose
- Fuel filter
- Carburettor inlet
- Carburettor jets
Before fitting a replacement tank, or returning an old tank to service, inspect the inside carefully.
If the tank is badly corroded, replacement may be the best option.
A clean fuel tank can help prevent contamination from reaching the carburettor.
Vespa Fuel Tank Restoration
If you're restoring a classic PX, PE or T5, the fuel tank should not be overlooked.
Before installation:
- Inspect the tank internally and externally.
- Check for corrosion.
- Check the fuel tap mounting.
- Inspect the tank fittings.
- Check the tank cap.
- Inspect the fuel hose.
- Check the fuel tap.
- Clean the fuel system where necessary.
- Check oil mixer components on mixer models.
- Make sure everything is correctly installed before adding fuel.
Taking the time to inspect the complete fuel system can prevent contamination and fuel-delivery problems later.
Vespa PX Oil Mixer & Non-Mixer Models
One of the most important things to check when ordering fuel tank components is whether your Vespa is fitted with an oil mixer.
Oil mixer and non-mixer models can require different components.
If you're unsure, check:
- Existing fuel tank
- Oil reservoir
- Oil pipe
- Carburettor
- Oil mixer mechanism
- Engine specification
- Original model specification
This is particularly important when restoring a PX that may have been modified during its lifetime.
Choosing the Correct Vespa Fuel Tank
Before ordering a replacement fuel tank, check:
Vespa model
Model year
Engine capacity
Oil mixer or non-mixer
Fuel tap arrangement
Tank fittings
Fuel gauge arrangement where applicable
Original part number
Do not rely solely on the appearance of the tank.
Two tanks can look very similar while having different fittings or being intended for different fuel-system configurations.
Choosing the Correct Vespa Oil Mixer Parts
When selecting oil mixer components, check:
- Vespa model
- Oil mixer type
- Tank configuration
- Pump specification
- Oil pipe arrangement
- Existing component
- Original part number where available
If you're rebuilding the engine, inspect the oil mixer system at the same time.
There is little benefit in rebuilding the engine and then fitting old, damaged or questionable oil mixer components without checking them.
