Hi all, went to change seal and ring on my 2000 2.0 110bhp 406 estate and can't get the ring to sit right, supposingly warped tank threads, left at garage to have a go with the tank off.
Went and purchased another tank but the sender unit hole is bigger, so phoned peugeot for a new tank, they don't do that tank no more -.- any ideas on how to get ring on without having to get new tank or has anyone got a tank that will fit mine? Part number is 9640092160.
Oh and will a saloon one fit on the estates or not?

Re: Furl tank issues
My bro's previous 1.9 had a similar issue - he discovered it leaked inside the car when full. On checking we found the plastic nut was split, presumably because someone couldn't get it on.
As a temporary fix, we screwed it on as far as possible, put a big jubilee clip round it to stop the split opening, then tightened it up. It worked for months, even when brim full.
I believe saloon and estate tanks are the same.
