Cerium Tank Citroen Peugeot Opel

The cerium tank with OE code 9817154080 è a fundamental component of the exhaust gas after-treatment system in diesel vehicles of the PSA group (Peugeot, Citroën) and Opel. This tank è is used to contain and dose the’cerium additive (Eolys or DPF additive) that is injected into the exhaust system to facilitate the regeneration of the particulate filter (FAP or DPF).

The tank integrates:

• Electric dosing pump for the’additive
• Level and temperature sensor
• Integrated electronic control unit (in some versions)

The body è made of high-strength plastic, designed to be installed under the vehicle's body, near the fuel tank.

DIPA has a stock of new original spare parts and canò intervene to overhaul those of the customers.

Vehicle applications

Peugeot

• 3008
• 5008
• Expert
• Expert Traveller

Citroën

• C5 Aircross
• Citroën Spacetourer

Opel

• Vivaro C
• Zafira Life

These vehicles share the EMP2 platform and use an SCR system with AdBlue and cerium injection for emission reduction.

Operation

The tank contains a cerium-based fluid that is precisely dosed into the fuel tank or directly into the exhaust system, depending on the vehicle generation. The dosing è is controlled by the engine control unit based on the kilometers traveled and the regenerations of the particulate filter.

DIPA indicates that the system may require a reconfiguration in diagnostics every time the tank is emptied or replaced, to reset the counters and restore the correct operation of the doser.

Common issues

Although the component is designed to last a long time, various problems have been encountered over time:

• Level sensor failure: the sensor mayò provide incorrect or null values, causing the engine malfunction light to illuminate and the’inabilityà to complete the DPF regeneration.
• Pump blockage: caused by liquid contamination or internal electrical failures.
• Leaks from the tank: can result from micro-cracks or worn seals, with additive accumulation on the underbody.
• Crystallization of the’additive: a phenomenon that occurs if the’additive è is too old or if the vehicle remains stationary for a long time. It canò clog the pump or the pipes.

Conclusions

DIPA provides new, original, and aftermarket quality componentsà equivalent ready for’installation, with warranty and compatibilityà for all affected models. Inquire about the availabilityà of ready-to-stock spare parts for quick replacements and reduced vehicle downtime.
