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?

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.

Well the garage just phoned to say he took the tank off and with more access he got it all on, just after I've just took a temp policy on my j reg clio valver lol, so pug is home and now I have access to 2 cars over next 24 hours lol
