Used Peugeot Boxer Fuel Tank

The Peugeot Boxer runs in a long third generation spanning roughly 2006 to the present, with a facelift around 2014, so a 2010 and a 2015 unit sit either side of that facelift boundary. The core tank shape may well be shared, but mounting brackets, sender unit connections and filler neck routing can change mid-production, so you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Supplying your engine code from your V5 will help the breaker check quickly.

Yes — the fuel tank must match your fuel type, so a diesel Boxer tank is not interchangeable with a petrol one, and the engine code from your V5 is the most reliable way to confirm this. Within diesel variants, different engine codes can also influence tank capacity and sender unit fitment, so always quote your engine code to the breaker. Never assume a tank from another Boxer is suitable purely because the year looks right.

L1, L2 and L3 on the Boxer refer to body length, not trim level in the conventional sense, and body length can affect tank capacity and positioning, so it is worth confirming the wheelbase of the donor vehicle matches yours. The cosmetic or specification trim of the donor van — such as cab finish or seating — makes no difference to fuel tank fitment whatsoever. Tell the breaker your wheelbase and engine code and they can match accordingly.

Both a 2006 and a 2013 Boxer fall within the third generation, which began in 2006, so they share the same broad platform. That said, running production changes to ancillary fittings and sender unit connectors mean a direct swap is not guaranteed without checking, so route this to the breaker with both registrations and your engine code. They will be able to compare the specific part numbers before you commit to a purchase.

Gearbox type — manual versus automatic — can influence tank shape and mounting in some vans because the transmission tunnel layout differs, so it is a detail worth mentioning to the breaker alongside your engine code. For the Boxer, confirm with the breaker whether the donor van's gearbox type matches yours, particularly if sourcing across different production years. Providing your registration and engine code gives the breaker the best chance of finding a straight swap.

The sender unit connections and any in-tank fuel pump fittings must be compatible, otherwise the fuel gauge and fuel delivery will not work correctly after fitting. These details are tied more closely to your engine code and production date than to the model year shown on the registration, so quote both to the breaker. Sender unit and connector pairing should be confirmed by the breaker against your registration before purchase, as these specifications can change within a generation without a clear public record of the exact changeover point.
