Protect the fuel tank that takes your Transit further
A Transit Trail can take your camper or working van onto some very worthwhile rough roads. This Almont guard protects its original 95-litre fuel tank with 6 mm certified duralumin, giving you more reassurance about the equipment beneath the van. It is made for the 4x4 / AWD tank installation.
SKU: PDFTD6L
The guard for the AWD 95-litre tank
This 16 kg SportDuty plate is shaped for the AWD / 4x4 installation with the original 95-litre tank. It gives the tank a substantial barrier when your van crosses ruts or rough access roads. Choose by drivetrain as well as capacity when matching the guard to your Transit.
Why we recommend Almont
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Matching protection
For a 2020-onwards Transit Trail AWD, add the separate front guard. If you have a 2020-onwards FWD Transit Van / Trail with the original 75-litre tank, choose the 75-litre FWD tank guard instead.
Looking after your protection
Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Is tank capacity the only thing to match?
No. Match both the original 95-litre tank and the 4x4 / AWD drivetrain for this reference.
Does it fit an aftermarket long-range tank?
No. It is shaped for the original 95-litre tank, not a larger replacement.
What is included?
The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
Will the plate rust if I scrape it?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
What does the warranty cover?
Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
