 I have had a couple of times where fluid has "vented" out of the LDS tank cap. It seems to have settled down now.....I do have the newer tank and cap

As a precaution I'm looking to replace my LDS tank, where is the best place for this? My local Citroen dealer isn't the friendliest

I’d say Eurocarcare would sort one for you. Prices generally good and if your a donating member you can get a discount. No harm in checking prices etc.

 Does anyone know the three sizes of hose clamps required to fit the new tank?

I was hoping to use the springy Mikalor type, if they are capable of holding return pressure

 Actually this little pipe may be the more pressing issue, I'm assuming I can just source a new piece from somewhere like pirtek

What's the procedure for depressurising or draining of the LDS fluid prior to replacing it?

 Hello C6Marcy,

I got a piece of fuel hose from my motor factors. You can unclip and reuse the clips. I depressurised. Quickest way is with Lexia/Diagbox. No need to drain!

Best regards,

Phil C.

 Is there a special plier that is used when removing and re using the clips?

 Hello C6Marcy,

I used a small screwdriver to unclip and a small longnose pliers to fasten as far as I remember.

Best regards,

Phil C.
