Peugeot 308 Fuel Tank Replacement Parts

The Peugeot 308 Mk1 ran from 2007 to 2013, and the Mk2 launched in 2013, so a 2012 car is Mk1 and a 2014 car is Mk2 — these are different generations and the fuel tanks are not a straightforward swap. Even within the same generation, the engine code is the most important detail to match, so give your breaker the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check alongside your registration. Confirm compatibility with the breaker before purchasing, as tank shape and mounting points can differ between generations.

Fuel type does affect the tank and associated components, as diesel and petrol systems use different fuel specifications and sometimes different sender unit arrangements. Always make sure the tank you are sourcing is from a car with the same fuel type as yours. Provide your engine code to the breaker — this confirms both the fuel type and the exact engine variant — so they can match the right part to your car.

The 308 Mk1 received a facelift in 2011, and while the fundamental platform remained the same, ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production run. The engine code is your most reliable guide here, as mechanical parts follow the engine rather than the model year badge. Confirm directly with the breaker that the tank from the donor car matches your registration and engine code before buying.

Trim level — whether your car is Access, Active, Allure or GT Line — does not affect fuel tank fitment; the tank is a mechanical component and is not specified by trim. What matters is the engine code, fuel type, gearbox type and whether the car is Mk1 or Mk2. You may find cosmetic differences in surrounding components from the donor car, but the tank itself is trim-independent, so do not let a different trim label put you off an otherwise correctly matched part.

Gearbox type can influence fuel tank compatibility in some Peugeot applications, particularly where the tank profile is designed around the transmission tunnel layout. It is worth telling your breaker whether your car is manual or automatic alongside the engine code, as this helps them cross-reference the correct donor vehicle. Confirm the specific fitment with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming a manual-car tank will drop straight into an automatic or vice versa.

The 308 SW (estate) and 308 hatchback have different body structures, and the fuel tank shape and mounting points are designed around each specific bodyshell, so they are not generally interchangeable. Always specify your body style as well as your engine code and registration when asking a breaker for a quote. The engine code remains the primary fitment guide for mechanical parts, but body style is genuinely relevant for the fuel tank — make sure the donor car matches yours on both counts.
