Second Hand Peugeot 307 Fuel Tank

The Peugeot 307 ran as a single generation from 2001 to 2008, with a facelift in 2005, so a 2004 tank and a 2002 tank sit within the same pre-facelift period and are likely to be compatible — but always confirm the engine code on your V5 matches the donor vehicle, as fuel tank specifications can follow engine and fuel type rather than year alone. Ask your breaker to cross-reference both registration numbers before agreeing the sale. Never assume fitment without that check.

The 307 facelift arrived in 2005, and while the basic platform carried over, mounting points and ancillary connections can vary across that boundary, so a tank from a 2005–2008 car may not drop straight into a 2001–2004 car without modification. Name both registration plates when contacting a breaker and ask them to confirm compatibility specifically across that facelift divide. Do not treat pre- and post-facelift tanks as automatically interchangeable.

Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the Peugeot 307 — the tank is a mechanical component that follows the engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and production year rather than whether the car is badged LX, SE, or XSi. You may find minor cosmetic differences in associated parts like heat shields or straps between builds, but the core tank itself is not trim-specific. Confirm the engine code and fuel type match and let your breaker verify against the full registration.

Yes, fuel type is one of the most important factors — petrol and diesel tanks are engineered differently and are not interchangeable, so always specify whether your 307 is petrol or diesel when requesting a quote from a breaker. Beyond that, supply your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) as this is the single most reliable detail a dismantler can use to locate the correct part. Getting this wrong means the tank will not fit safely.

The engine code matters more than the badge, so different HDi variants — for example those with different power outputs or emissions specifications — may have been fitted with fuel tanks that differ in capacity, sender unit position, or pipe routing. Give your breaker your full engine code from the V5 rather than just '2.0 HDi', as this allows them to match the donor vehicle precisely. Confirm any ancillary connections such as the fuel sender wiring and filler neck routing with the breaker before purchasing.

Body style does not typically affect the core tank specification on the 307, but the SW estate and CC convertible may have different underfloor layouts or tank shapes to accommodate their distinct body structures, so a direct swap is not guaranteed. Engine code and fuel type should still be your starting point, but confirm with your breaker that the tank from a different body style will physically locate and connect correctly in your car. Never assume a tank is universal across all 307 body variants without that specific confirmation.
