Cheap Peugeot 508 Fuel Tank

The Peugeot 508 first generation ran from 2011 to 2018, so a 2013 tank and a 2011 tank sit within the same generation, which is a good starting point. However, fitment depends primarily on your engine code rather than the model year alone, so supply your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) when getting quotes from breakers. Confirm with the breaker against your registration that there are no ancillary or mounting changes between the two years before buying.

The first-generation Peugeot 508 received a facelift in 2014, creating a meaningful production boundary that can affect parts compatibility. While the tank may well interchange across that boundary, whether it does for your specific engine code is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Give the breaker both the donor vehicle's registration and your own so they can check properly.

For a mechanical component like a fuel tank, trim level does not affect fitment on the Peugeot 508; an Active, Allure, or GT with the same engine code will use the same tank. Trim determines interior and cosmetic features, not the fuel system specification, so do not let a difference in badge put you off an otherwise matching part. The key details to match are engine code, fuel type, and model year within the generation.

The Peugeot 508 was offered in both saloon and SW (estate) body styles, and tank design can differ between them due to differing underbody packaging. Always tell the breaker which body style your car is, alongside your engine code and fuel type, to make sure the tank from the donor car matches your vehicle's layout. Never assume a saloon tank will drop straight into an SW or vice versa.

The single most useful detail is your engine code, which is listed on your V5C logbook and can also be obtained through a VIN check; it tells the breaker more than the year or badge alone. You should also confirm your fuel type (petrol or diesel), gearbox type, body style (saloon or SW), and the model year so the breaker can narrow down the correct generation. Having your registration to hand allows the breaker to verify compatibility directly against your vehicle's specification.

No — petrol and diesel fuel tanks are not interchangeable, as diesel systems have different filler neck designs, sender unit specifications, and sometimes tank geometry to suit the respective fuel system. Always specify your fuel type alongside your engine code when asking a breaker for quotes. Fitting the wrong fuel type tank risks serious safety and mechanical problems, so this is a hard compatibility rule, not a guideline.
