95 850 Broken Fuel Hose

Good evening everyone,

I'm just curious if anyone can identify the broken fuel line in this picture. I believe it leads to the charcoal canister but I'm not certain.

Sorry for the poor quality. This is right by the fuel filter which can be see in the upper left.

Thanks!

Yes, that looks like a broken fuel vapor recovery tube that connects the fuel tank to the roll over valve. I've had to replace that hose on my '97 855.

You're welcome. Anything to help another volvo owner!
The silicone tubing has been holding up fine so far. It is flexible enough to make a tight fit at both ends. I can't remember the ID of the silicone tube I picked out -- it was most likely 5 or 6mm.
The original tube has different diameters at each end so it might be hard to get a good seal with fuel line.
