Re: Fuel filter location
Thats the active charcoal canister, it store fuel vapour from the fuel tank & the other pioe goes to the inlet manifold so it can vent the fuel vapour back into the engine.

Re: Fuel filter location
Not certain, but I'd think that likely to be the charcoal filter - allowing the fuel tank to vent, when the engine is not running (fumes directed to inlet manifold when running) and the charcoal absorbs the petrol fumes.

Re: Fuel filter location
Picasso Fan, stop worrying about the filter.
Citroen/Peugeot stopped fitting service replaceable petrol fuel filters about 20 years ago.
Your car does NOT have one.

Re: Fuel filter location
As already mentioned, they are only fitted to cars delivered to markets deemed a "dusty atmosphere". For example, my 2011 DS3 has an inline fuel filter. I'm in Australia.
Having said that, I would have assumed that South Africa would also be one of those markets. Perhaps it is not.
For reference, here is a pic of my DS3's setup. The large round cylinder is the charcoal canister and the small round one is obviously the fuel filter. This is located between the exhaust pipe and the right hand side of the car.
AFAIK, when PSA went to the fancy rectangular charcoal canister (like you posted) the inline fuel filter was also deleted.
My 208 and my 308 do not have an inline fuel filter (despite still being in Australia).

Re: Fuel filter location
My NZ market 308 does not have a petrol filter. I presume that it is not intended to be driven in rural areas with gravel roads...
