An ambulance model was added in December 1951 which repositioned the fuel tank in front of the transaxle, put the spare tire behind the front seat, [11] and added a "tailgate"-style rear door. [11] These features became standard on the Type 2 from 1955 to 1967. [11] 11,805 Type 2s were built in the 1951 model year. [13]
Three fuel tanks, with a total capacity of 780 liters, were installed in the engine compartment. Despite higher fuel economy compared to the M48A2 engine, gasoline engines provided insufficient torque. At the same time, the development of the X-shaped diesel engine failed, so, starting in mid-1958, other options were considered.

They were faster and more expensive than the Beetle, but very cramped in the back, despite their wider, postwar and nearly slabsided body design.
A locking cap was standard on later models. 4 Wheel Drive (Syncro) models have the fuel tank in the rear above the transmission so the filler is on the right-side rear corner. The spare tyre lies in a tray under the very front of the van, just below the radiator. Volkswagen T3, Club Joker, 1981, Air-cooled, one front grill
The Volkswagen air-cooled engine is an air-cooled, gasoline-fuelled, boxer engine with four horizontally opposed cast-iron cylinders, cast aluminum alloy cylinder heads and pistons, magnesium-alloy crankcase, and forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods.
To allow easier access during maintenance and repairs, it was decided to change hatches over the engine compartment. To increase the operational range, 300 litres (66 imp gal; 79 US gal) fuel tanks were added to the front of the hull, increasing the overall fuel capacity to 680 litres (150 imp gal; 180 US gal).

With the more compact AVI-1790-8 engine, additional fuel tanks were installed in the engine compartment, increasing fuel capacity to 335 gallons.
