The fuel tank was mounted in the boot as before and held 12 imperial gallons (54 litres). However, the fuel filler pipe was now in the front right-hand corner of the tank, leading up to chrome-plated bayonet fixing filler cap on the right-hand side of the rear tonneau panel. On the 3000 models, a locking filler cap could be specified as a factory-fitted extra.

The SU electric fuel pump was originally mounted behind the heel board on the left-hand side of the car. Originally, the 100-Six had an HP-type fuel pump, but from chassis number BN4/60413, in March 1958, this was replaced by a higher-capacity LCS-type, also found on all BN6 cars and carried forward on the 3000 models. The fuel pump specification was upgraded in March 1961, and in Januar 1962 the pump was moved from the left-hand to the right-hand side of the car, to minimise the risk of fuel vaporisation due to heat from the exhaust pipe. Finally, on the Mark III model from chassis number H-BJ8/28225 in August 1964, the new AUF301 fuel pump was introduced, being of a more modern design and of still higher capacity.
