Ordered the tank nut of my 997 for a small leak.

Purchased three time from different US suppliers (2 dealers, ECS Tuning), got the part attached in the picture everytime!

Being maybe a common fuel pump in BMW and Porsche could have been... But the nut is not even close to the one on my 997. Where can I buy this now? Name:  image-4059056460.jpg

Perhaps you have the wrong part number? What year and model is your car?

edit: can you post a picture of the one on your car? It is usually stamped with a part number.

The part number is correct.

The part number on the label does not match the part inside the actual bag of the spare part. Looks like an issue back to when Porsche stocked the part
