Color EPY – Rubi Red Paint
Filler Neck Housing Available In Stock Under Code 1518E2
We Also Have Other Colors In Stock
This used fuel flap cover is a direct-fit replacement for the first‑generation Peugeot 3008. Designed to restore the appearance and function of the vehicle’s fuel filler area, the panel is finished in EPY (Rubi Red) paint and is commonly sought by part numbers such as 9682803080 and 1517G9. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics, this part helps avoid costly bodywork and keeps the filler neck protected from dirt and moisture.
Function And Benefits
The fuel flap cover (fuel filler flap) protects the fuel filler neck from road dirt, water ingress and minor impacts. Besides the protective role, it completes the exterior styling of the vehicle and may incorporate the latch that secures the flap. Replacing a damaged flap restores proper sealing and prevents contamination of the filler area.

Installation Recommendations
- Recommended For: Experienced Automechanics And Competent DIYers.
- Tools: Plastic trim tools, Torx/screwdrivers for hinge screws, small ratchet set, panel clips pliers.
- Procedure Overview: Open the fuel flap and access the mounting fasteners (may require removing inner trunk trim or wheel-arch liner depending on model). Remove retaining screws or clips, carefully detach the hinge and any rubber surround or spring, and replace the cover. Transfer any spring/hinge parts from the old unit if required. Align the flap, secure fasteners to manufacturer torque where available, and verify smooth opening/closing and sealing.
- Tips: Protect painted edges during installation to avoid scratches. Replace broken clips and worn hinges to ensure correct alignment. Do not overtighten plastic screws to prevent cracking.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
- Impact Damage: Minor parking impacts, fuel-pump collisions or dooring incidents often crack or deform the flap.
- Worn Hinges And Clips: Plastic hinges and retaining clips become brittle with age and can break from repeated use or cold exposure.
- Corrosion And Debris: Accumulated dirt, salt and moisture can lead to latch sticking or accelerated wear of fastening points.
- Paint Damage: Scratches and chips from refuelling or road debris lead owners to replace the flap for cosmetic reasons.
