Where the Subaru Forester fuel tank is listed

Location matters: yards in Colorado ask a median $88, while Indiana yards ask $201, 128% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru Forester fuel tank cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru Forester fuel tank are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 7 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, gasoline, lists at a $210 median, while hybrid commands $434, a 107% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $110, while 2023 tops the table at $305. Parts from 2018–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru Forester sits 4% below the Ram 1500 ($200), 1% above the Ford F150 ($190), and 20% below the Ram 3500 ($241) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used fuel tank: what to check
- Inspect lower shell for scrapes and rust: Examine bottom sumps for deep skid scrape gouges, puncture repairs, or heavy rust scale on metal tanks.
- Shake tank to detect loose internal baffles: Shake the empty tank to verify internal fuel slosh baffles have not broken away from internal spot welds.
- Verify filler neck and vent port integrity: Check that the filler neck opening, check-valve flap, and evaporative emission vent ports are undamaged.
- Confirm mounting strap isolators and heat shields: Check plastic heat shield attachment points and strap rubber isolator pad locations against your chassis layout.
- Flush internal stale fuel before installation: Rinse old fuel residue and dirt particles from inside the tank cavity before installing the fuel pump assembly.
