Fitment questions
Will a fuel tank from a 2000 Peugeot 406 fit my 1997 model?
The Peugeot 406 ran as a single generation from 1995 to 2004, with a facelift in 1999, so a 2000 tank and a 1997 tank sit either side of that facelift boundary. The tank itself may be the same, but mounting points and ancillary connections can change across a facelift year, so you should confirm with the breaker whether the tank from the post-1999 car matches your pre-facelift registration before buying. Supplying your reg or VIN to the breaker is the safest way to get a definitive answer.
Does the fuel type matter when sourcing a used 406 fuel tank?
Yes, petrol and diesel 406s use different tanks, so you must match the fuel type exactly. Beyond that, the engine code is the most reliable identifier — it tells the breaker exactly which drivetrain spec your car was built to, which is more precise than quoting the engine size alone. You'll find the engine code on your V5 or via a VIN check.
Does the gearbox — manual or automatic — affect which fuel tank I need?
On the 406, gearbox type can influence tank shape or capacity due to differences in underbody packaging, so it is worth telling the breaker whether your car is a manual or automatic. Again, the engine code covers most of this detail, so provide that alongside your fuel type and gearbox type when requesting a quote.
Does the trim level — LX, GLX, or SR — change which fuel tank I need?
Trim level does not affect fuel tank fitment on the 406; the LX, GLX, SR and equivalent grades all use the same mechanical underpinning within a given engine and fuel-type variant. You may find cosmetic differences such as condition or sender-unit style on a used part, but the trim badge itself is not a factor. Focus on engine code, fuel type, and whether the car is pre- or post-1999 facelift when sourcing.
Can I use a 406 fuel tank from any year between 1995 and 2004?
Within the same fuel type and engine code, tanks from across the 1995–2004 production run may share the same basic unit, but the 1999 facelift is a known change point where ancillary connections and mounting details can differ. Rather than assuming any year fits any other, give the breaker your engine code and registration so they can cross-reference against the donor car's details. Never assume fitment without that confirmation.
Does the body style affect 406 fuel tank fitment — saloon versus estate?
Body style can affect tank shape or capacity on the 406, as the saloon and estate have different underbody layouts, so you should tell the breaker which body style your car is when requesting a quote. The engine code and fuel type remain the primary matching criteria, but confirming the body style rules out an obvious mismatch. Ask the breaker to verify against your registration to be sure.
