1997 960 gas smell and leak on fillup 900

That's the same failure I had on my 93 960. The small hose was torn at the clamp close to the fuel tank. The clamp uses a small (10mm ?) torx screw. The head was facing the body of the car and was not accessible. Out of desperation I tugged on the hose and it came right off. Without lowering the fuel tank, I wasn't able to reinstall the clamp as it came from the factory. I put the clamp on the end of the hose and tightened it enough to keep it stationary on the hose. While attempting to tighten the clamp, while lying under the car using many extentions on my ratchet, the clamp came off of the hose and is now between the hose and the fuel tank. I attempted to remove the hose again so that I could get the clamp back on. The hose was happy where it was. I left it that way. I filled up with the hose installed and there was no fuel pouring out and no odor inside the car.

The hose was about $45.00 + tax from the dealer. The part number on the new hose was the same as the original.

On my 93 960 there is a valve of some kind on the right side under the lip of the access hatch. It's bracket is attached with two torx screws. I removed it to ease access to the small hose connection.

Hope this helps,
