The bad part about Stop Leak in Volvo radiators is that it usually clogs the hose that goes from the expansion tank to the radiator.

That is a very bad situation, since the radiator leaks fluid out, but the expansion tank remains full (due to blockage of it's feed hose), leading one to believe the radiator is full when it is not. Worse yet, it's hard to notice an empty radiator until the temp gauge pegs into the red zone.
