C5 fuel pump seal

[sonoramicommando]

So I bought a Bosch pump from eurocarparts 'cos I didn't want to pay through the nose at my friendly local Citroen stealer - but it didn't come with a big massive seal that (I think) goes between the tank and the pump.
I would have thought it's a part of the pump kit - is it meant to come with one?
If not, where do you normally get parts - I don't know whether PSA parts are expensive through your local dealers but here it's pretty steep (IF, that is they have in stock)...

I don't know the answer to that but I have changed a couple using the existing seal and have not had a problem.

I think the existing seal is leaking so I'll need a new one.
Can you order parts (genuine) through Citroen Services?

just had online chat on eurocarparts - they say the pump assy doesn't come with a seal - which is odd as it comes complete with fuel level gauge float, I really expect it to have a seal in the box.

The original citroen one doesent come with a seal either. The seal is only a few pounds from the dealer if i remember right. I have reused plenty too but have had a few where the seal has expanded & wont go back on. Always best to have one to hand so the cars throat is not cut if you cant get it to reseal.

Seal is available from fleaBay - fits several Peugeot / Citroen vehicles
Advisable to buy a new locking ring too, as they become brittle
