Function And Benefits
The fuel filler cap cover (fuel door / fuel flap) provides a sealed closure for the fuel filler area, protecting the filler neck and surrounding paintwork. It contributes to the vehicle’s exterior finish and prevents ingress of dirt, water and road debris. A correctly fitted cover also ensures the filler cap can be accessed and closed easily during refuelling.
Installation Recommendations
- Tools: Trim tool set, Phillips/ Torx screwdriver (depending on fasteners), replacement clips if needed, workshop gloves.
- Procedure (general): Open the fuel flap, locate and remove retaining screws or clips, carefully detach the old cover from its hinge or mounting points, fit the new cover and secure with the original fasteners. Check gap and alignment before final tightening.
- Finish: If painted, protect the surrounding paint during installation and verify latch operation and seal. Replace any brittle clips to ensure a secure fit.
- Tip for Professionals: Keep replacement panel clips in stock — plastic fasteners commonly fail during removal and are inexpensive to replace.
Why The Part Fails Most Often
- Impact Damage: Minor collisions at the rear quarter or around the fuel area commonly crack or deform the cover.
- Paint And Corrosion: Chipping from fuel spills, stone chips or degraded paint can lead to corrosion or visible damage.
- Hinge And Clip Wear: Plastic hinges and retaining clips become brittle with age and heat exposure, causing the flap to sag or detach.
- Frequent Use And Misuse: Repeated forceful handling or improper opening can stress fixation points and fasteners.

When ordering, quoting the product codes 1517C5 or 1517C9 and the vehicle model (Peugeot 107 / Citroën C1) ensures fast identification.
