- Fuel Tank - MEC EUR - Vespa PX Lusso (1984 and later) - Version without separate lubrication, with fuel gauge
Fuel tank manufactured in Italy for Vespa PX Lusso, EFL, Iris, and Arcobaleno models built in 1984 or later—without separate lubrication, but with a mounting point for the metal fuel level sensor.
The MEC EUR fuel tank is designed for Vespa PX Lusso models manufactured in 1984 or later that are operated without a separate lubrication system but are equipped with a fuel gauge. Manufactured in Italy, this tank is modeled after the original factory-installed PX Lusso tank in terms of shape, connections, and mounting points.
This version features a mounting for the metal fuel level sensor used on corresponding PX Lusso models. There is no mounting for a separate oil tank. This makes the tank suitable for engines with mixture lubrication, in which oil and gasoline are mixed directly in the fuel tank.
The tank is designed to accommodate the convenient fuel cap of the PX-Lusso series. The fuel valve, fuel sender, fuel cap, gaskets, and other mounting hardware are not included and must be transferred from the existing tank or purchased separately.
MEC EUR Made in Italy PX Lusso from 1984 onward with fuel gauge without separate lubrication for metal fuel level sensors Mounting parts not included
There are several versions of the Vespa PX fuel tanks that look similar on the outside but have different connections and mounts. The key distinguishing factors are the separate lubrication system and the type of fuel sender.
The tank offered here is intended for vehicles that do not have a separate oil tank. In these engines, the two-stroke oil is mixed directly into the fuel. At the same time, the tank features the mounting point for the electric fuel gauge of the PX Lusso series.
Compared to earlier PX models, the Vespa PX Lusso was equipped with an electric fuel gauge. The fuel sender required for this is located in a separate opening in the fuel tank and transmits the fuel level to the gauge in the steering head.
This fuel tank design is intended for the metal fuel level sensor used in models without a separate lubrication system. The fuel level sensor is not included in the scope of delivery. An existing sensor may be reused, provided it is in good working order and fits the fuel tank design.
In this configuration, there is no additional oil tank located under or next to the fuel tank. The engine oil is added directly in the correct mixing ratio with the gasoline during refueling.
The tank is therefore suitable for both standard PX-Lusso models without separate lubrication and for vehicles that have been modified accordingly, in which the separate oil supply is not used.
Vehicles without separate lubrication require a correctly premixed gasoline-oil mixture. The engine must not be operated with pure gasoline.
The tank is designed to accommodate the Vespa PX Lusso fuel cap. This cap features an easy-to-use twist-lock mechanism and differs from the classic flip-top cap found on earlier Vespa large-frame models.
The Lusso closure is easy to open and close and can also be a practical solution for older conversions. However, the fuel cap is not included with this tank.
The MEC EUR tank is manufactured in Italy and is modeled after the factory-installed tank used on the Vespa PX Lusso, EFL, Iris, and Arcobaleno. The mounting, installation position, fuel sender mount, and fuel cap connection are designed to match the corresponding PX Lusso model.
This makes the tank a suitable replacement for a damaged original tank without altering the basic fuel system or the vehicle’s operation.
Fuel tanks can corrode from the inside after several decades. Rust particles then travel through the fuel valve and the fuel hose to the carburetor, where they can clog screens, jets, or passages.
Leaky welds, damaged threads, deformed mounting points, or a severely deteriorated interior coating are also signs that the tank needs to be replaced.
Model designations vary depending on the country of sale. The key factors are the year of manufacture, the absence of a separate lubrication system, the presence of a fuel gauge, and the use of a metal fuel sender.
| Fuel Tank Version | Fuel gauge | Separate lubrication | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Without fuel gauge | No | No | Earlier PX and other large-frame models |
| This version | Yes, metal fuel sender | No | PX Lusso models from 1984 onward without separate lubrication |
| With fuel gauge and oil tank mount | Yes | Yes | PX Lusso from 1984 onward with separate lubrication |
Before ordering, check the existing fuel tank design directly on the vehicle. The designs are not readily interchangeable.

The tank is shipped without mounting parts or accessories. Depending on the condition of the existing components, the following parts may also be required:
The MEC EUR tank is the ideal replacement for Vespa PX Lusso models manufactured in 1984 or later that are equipped with an electric fuel gauge but do not have a separate lubrication system.
The design, which closely resembles the original, the mounting for the metal fuel level sensor, and the connection for the convenient PX Lusso fuel cap allow for the replacement of a corroded, leaky, or damaged original fuel tank.
It is important to ensure the correct fit: This tank does not have a mounting for a separate oil tank and is therefore intended exclusively for vehicles with mixed-lubrication. The fuel valve, fuel sender, fuel cap, gaskets, and mounting hardware must be purchased separately or transferred from the existing tank.
