How to add DPF cleaner to Peugeot Partner Van fuel tank

[gasbusters]

I own a 2014 Peugeot partner van.

My DPF filter at risk of blocking/clogging warning came on recently, so I took it for a 1 hour drive on motorway, doing 3000rpm in 4th gear. The fault disapeared.

3 weeks later fault came in again so took it for another long drive. Fault cleared.

But this time I decided to buy some JLM DPF filter cleaner.

I tried putting it into the fuel tank but the metal round section behind the fuel cap that goes "inwards" when you put fuel in won't go in when I try pressing it open with anything else. With the fuel gun nozzle at petrol stations it goes in no problem. But with anything else, it won't open. Tried copper pipe, plastic pipe etc. No luck.

Is there any way specific way to get that cap open to put the DPF cleaner into the fuel tank?

Won't work, save your time and money.

Been a very recent thread on this very subject

A bit vague, but I think I remember something along the lines of, the filler being interlocked, to prevent the wrong fuel being put in. The nozzles ID themselves to open the filler

Doesn't that vehicle use Eolys? If so, is the Eolys tank empty?

Don't know it that stuff works - but for most cars it's not difficult to access the tank via the lift pump housing (took me 10 minutes on my golf). There should be an access panel in the rear floor.

On a work colleagues car we found a hose the same diameter as the filler nozzle and poked that in first, cant see it being anything other than a mechanical interlock.

It sits in a separate small tank under the car. Lasts about 72,000 miles. Each time you fill up with fuel, it injects a small amount into the fuel. It's basically DPF cleaner. It lowers the temperature at which soot will burn.

That said, if the tank is empty you should get some sport of message along the lines of "replenish additive" (or something like that).

I meant the actual fuel tank, to tip some snake oil into it.

For anyone trying to replenish Eolys on Peugeots, be prepared for a horrible job removing the tank and replenishing it.....I’d only do it again if I had access to a vehicle hoist.
Also, the ECU needs to be told of the replenishment or the message doesn’t go out.
