1302 + 1303 Beetle Fuel Sender Seal (58mm) (Also Baywindow Bus - 1973-79 And All Type 25 Buses)

This 58mm rubber O-ring is a critical sealing component used between the fuel tank and sender unit, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal in a wide range of classic Volkswagen models. Designed to sit in the recess between the tank opening and sender flange, it prevents fuel vapour and liquid leaks, maintaining both safety and correct fuel system pressure.

Manufactured from high-quality fuel-resistant rubber, this seal is built to withstand constant exposure to petrol, temperature changes, and long-term compression. Over time, original seals harden, crack, or shrink—leading to fuel smells, leaks, or inaccurate sender readings. Replacing this O-ring restores a proper seal and ensures the sender unit operates correctly.

In addition to fuel system use, this versatile 58mm O-ring is also commonly used on G60 supercharger intake pipes, where it provides an airtight seal between intake components. This ensures stable airflow, helping maintain correct boost pressure and engine performance.

Installation is straightforward during fuel sender replacement or tank maintenance. Simply seat the O-ring correctly in the tank groove before refitting the sender unit. It is recommended to check the sender locking ring and tank surface condition at the same time for best results.
