Clogged charcoal filter to blame. Dont know how to get it out to change. It is located directly behind the fuel filter at rear of car. Awkward spot. Has anyone changed one of these charcoal canisters?

Well i detached the pipe from the ORVR valve to the canister. Lo and behold a flood of gasoline fumes! The filter must have been clogged. Depressingly, the canister is located in the least accessable spot imaginable. Behind the fuel filter right up against the floor of the trunk. FML. Has anyone cha...

Rarely it will take 25 l or so but then will fill the pipe and trigger the auto pump shutoff. It is also slow to take fuel fr...

Managed to fix it. A rotten fuel line from driver side pump over the top of the tank was the problem. Seems like a lot of road dirt & such gathered on the top of the tank causing the line to rust. Cut a hole in the floor just to the left of the indicated area & riveted it shut.

Hi, I have a V70xc with 381000 km's on it. A few months ago I began to smell a slight fuel leak. Because I could not locate any drips decided to keep an eye on it.
