Look after your G-Class fuel tank when you head off road
A G-Class is a vehicle many owners plan to keep and use for years. Help protect its original fuel tank on rough ground with this Almont 6 mm duralumin guard for the W461 PUR Professional and W463 1989-2012 application.
SKU: PDMBG4D6
Protection for a part you want to keep out of trouble
The plate adds a substantial alloy barrier beneath the original tank. It is a practical addition for rocky tracks and rough access routes, giving you more peace of mind about the tank while you enjoy driving your G away from the tarmac.
Why we recommend Almont
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.

Fitting
For the original fuel tank and original mounting arrangement on the stated W461/W463 application. A larger replacement tank needs its own matching guard.
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.
Matching protection
To protect the transmission too, add the separate W461/W463 gearbox and transfer guard. For a supported W463, choose SKU PDMBG4A28 from the W463 front guard page; the vehicle must retain its original supports for that front guard to fit.
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
Does it fit both listed G-Class chassis?
Yes. The retained offer covers W461 PUR Professional and W463 models from 1989 to 2012.
Does it cover the gearbox as well?
No. The gearbox and transfer case use the separate linked guard.
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.
