A well-loved Transporter, Multivan or California is worth looking after underneath. This Almont guard protects the original fuel tank on the stated AdBlue-equipped T6 and T6.1 applications, with 6 mm certified duralumin for rough pitches and access roads. The AdBlue tank has a separate matching guard.
SKU: PDWT6D26
The fuel guard for AdBlue-equipped vans
AdBlue-equipped vans use a different fuel-tank guard from vans without AdBlue. This 15 kg SportDuty plate protects the original fuel tank and works with the separate AdBlue guards: PDWT6D36 for Transporter T6 2015-2019, and PDWT6D46 for Multivan / California T6.1 2020-2024. Each AdBlue guard needs this fuel guard fitted first.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength alloy protection without the material weight of steel of the same size and thickness. The plate will not develop red rust if its surface is scratched, so it is a good choice for a vehicle you intend to keep and use. Wash off mud and road salt to look after the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware.
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 Transporter T6 2015-2019, add the separate PDWT6D36 AdBlue guard. For a Multivan or California T6.1 2020-2024, choose PDWT6D46. Each needs this fuel guard fitted first. A T6 2015-2019 without AdBlue uses the separate non-AdBlue fuel 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.
