A quiet campsite or a remote job often comes at the end of a rough access road. This Almont guard protects the original fuel tank beneath your Crafter or TGE, putting 6 mm certified duralumin between it and the ground. The listed application covers both 2WD and 4WD vans.
SKU: PDWCD6
A 2WD van can encounter the same rough pitches and access roads as a 4x4. This 13 kg SportDuty guard protects the original fuel tank on the Crafter and TGE applications shown here, giving either drivetrain a substantial alloy barrier beneath the tank.
This is certified AW5083 H111 duralumin: a high-strength aluminium alloy that keeps material weight below steel of the same size and thickness. You get a substantial barrier beneath the vehicle, and a scratch in the plate does not turn into red rust. It is still worth keeping the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware clean, especially after winter salt or muddy trips.
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.

For AdBlue protection too, choose the separate MK1 AdBlue guard for builds before June 2021, or the MK2 guard for the later installation after June 2021. Match your van's build date and tank installation.
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. Both 2WD and 4WD are included for the listed Crafter and TGE applications.

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.
