About this product
Protect one of your Sprinter’s most vulnerable components with the Van Compass Fuel Tank Skid Plate, engineered for 2019+ Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 and AWD models. The factory plastic fuel tank sits low and exposed, making it susceptible to damage on rough terrain. This heavy-duty skid plate creates a strong, smooth surface that lets your van glide over rocks, ruts, and obstacles with confidence.
Constructed from ¼” thick 5052 aluminum, the plate delivers exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. Its two-piece design ensures full compatibility with S&B extended-range fuel tanks, including all current high-capacity versions. The redesigned front section not only integrates seamlessly with S&B tanks but also provides added protection for the fuel filter assembly on 2023+ AWD Sprinter vans.
This 100% bolt-on system includes precision-cut ⅛” high-strength steel mounting brackets and all necessary hardware for a secure, straightforward installation. Pair it with the Van Compass Engine and Transmission Skid Plates for complete underbody protection and total peace of mind on or off the trail.
