Gasoline leak S80

posted by  someone claiming to be Phil Punxsutawney on  Mon Feb 18 06:55 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Not quite like that, but apparently some "white motor" Volvos have a plug in the end of the fuel rail which can become dislodged, spraying fuel over the engine compartment. A non-statistical survey of recyclers revealed several 960-SV90/850-SVC70s-S80s which had been destroyed by engine fires. Check the archives.

Also, ****PLEASE**** report this problem to the NHTSA. You can do it online at:
