Hi Rene,
The news is getting better! Just for clarification purposes, the high pressure side is in hose, the pliable neoprene sort. The low pressure return side is in tubing, the rigid metal walled sort. This would explain why gas wasn't jetting all over when the engine was running.

Thus, I ought to be able to splice with neoprene hose of the same i.d., and some good clamps...not pretty but you should see the underside of this Volvo.

Just for the sake of cosmic balance, I must mention that this Volvo has been a real workhorse, and at least twice a year the wife decides to sell her shiny Mini-van and rehabilitate the weathered wagon!

Thanks for all the great advice. I hope to handle it from here.

All the best,
Holmes
