A camper or working van can meet plenty of rough ground on the way to somewhere useful. This Almont 6 mm duralumin guard protects the MK2 AdBlue tank on the specified Crafter and TGE applications built after June 2021, with support for both 4x4 and 2WD versions.
SKU: PDWCD36
The 10 kg guard is the MK2 version, rather than the earlier AdBlue plate. Ordering by build date and tank arrangement matters here: the model name alone does not distinguish the two guards. It adds a substantial alloy barrier beneath the tank while keeping the exact application clear.
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.

Uses the vehicle's original holes and threads with the supplied mounting supports and fixings. Follow the fitting instructions and check clearances on your vehicle.
Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-stay, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible when those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.
For the matching Crafter/TGE application, add the separate fuel tank guard. On a supported 4x4, the rear differential guard protects a different area; it is not for 2WD.
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.
Yes. The exact product covers 4x4 and 2WD in the stated Crafter/TGE and post-June-2021 MK2 application.
That earlier MK1 AdBlue arrangement uses a different plate. This is the MK2 guard for vehicles built after June 2021.
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.
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.
Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
