Missing additive tank

My Peugeot 406 coupe is missing its fuel additive tank. What will it do to the car and its performance?

If it originally had one, the diesel particulate filter will not regenerate as effectively and will eventually fail. Not sure if the 2.2HDI coupe was originally fitted with one.
