Used fuel tanks vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Peugeot 206 ran as a single generation from 1998 through to 2009, so a tank from a 2001 car is broadly from the same platform as a 2004 car. That said, there were running production changes across those years, so the engine code on your V5 is the key detail to match — confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle shares your engine code before buying.
The 206 received a facelift in 2002, but because the fuel tank is a mechanical/structural component sitting on the same underbody platform throughout the 1998–2009 run, the facelift itself is unlikely to have changed the tank. However, there were mid-production ancillary and mounting detail changes that are difficult to pin down exactly, so you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assuming a pre-2002 tank will drop straight in to a post-2002 car.
Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the Peugeot 206 — the tank is determined by engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and year, not by whether the car is an LX, GLX, Roland Garros, or any other trim. You may find cosmetic or interior differences between donor and your car, but none of those affect the tank itself. Give the breaker your engine code and fuel type and trim level becomes irrelevant.
Yes, fuel type matters and you must match it — a petrol tank and a diesel tank are not interchangeable due to differences in filler neck design, sender unit setup, and associated components. Always confirm your fuel type and engine code with the breaker so they can source the correct donor vehicle.
Engine code is the most reliable guide for fuel tank compatibility on the 206, and while tanks may physically resemble one another across different engine variants, sender unit calibration and ancillary connections can differ between engine families. Rather than assuming a 1.4 donor tank will work on your 1.6 (or vice versa), give the breaker both your registration and your engine code from the V5 so they can verify the donor matches properly.
The 206 was produced right through to 2009 in the UK, so a 2008 car is a late example but not unusual, and breakers who specialise in Peugeots should be able to source from the same generation. Supply of late-production cars at dismantlers can be slightly thinner, so it is worth getting quotes from multiple breakers on Findapart and giving them your engine code and registration to ensure an accurate match.
