MAJOR gas leak!
Unfortunately this started hapening about months 6 after they fixed the recal... I still think they may have botched it, do you know if these seals or whatever they replace are available aftermarket?

This discussion is very interesting to me. Here is my experience:
Two days ago I took my '96 850 turbo wagon to the dealer for the same fuel tank leak problem. When I filled the tank, fuel would run out of what appeared to be the filler tube. In reality the hose on top of the tank was cracked and leaking. The leaked slowed as the fuel level in the tank dropped. The technician looked at it and said that the cracked hose is not unusual. Question: Could this hose have been replaced by removing the plate under the rear seat to get at the top of the tank?
The total cost to replace the hose was $425! When I asked about the cost, the service advisor said the job takes four hours as the tank needs to be dropped to get to the hose. I asked about the recall and he said it was not for leaks, it was to replace the pads that keep the tank from rubbing on the body and frame, and that it was not related to the problem in any way.
However, it took the technician only two hours to do the whole job. When I asked the advisor about that he said that they use the Volvo Flat Rate guide and that is what they charge, no matter how much time the repair takes. He said it was for "my protection." The labor charge was $380 (3.9 hours per the

Hello
I have a problem with finding suitable part for my volvo. I have volvo 850 2.5 20V (125kw), 1996, M56, limousine. On fuel tank the middle hose between filler pipe and fuel tank cracked. There are two possible parts in volvo Vida system told my local dealer. In picture of tank and it's parts that's nummber 23. No one is avalible so it has to be ordered. The only option is to order both if i want to have my car in one week done.
I remove old one and there is no number on it. It's about 30 cm long, with different diameters on each side. I pined you a picture of old one and I want to know if this is
- 3531434 (9141120-7 old number) hose or
- 9463088 (9447039-0 old number)hose.

I replaced this hose on the top of my fuel tank and it was one difficult job. I dropped the tank when it was almost empty. the tank is rather light and does not need much in the way of support. However access was a devil. I did not think of access from the access panel under the seat, but i do not think it possible.
The exact part for the hose I replaced on my 98 S70 I will try to find, but I ordered it from my dealer, since I could not find it online. Do not order the clips, even though the dealer convinced me to do so, since any hose clamps will work, only that you will need a smaller and larger one for the 2 different diameters. I think the job took me 3 full curse-filled hours. Didn't fix the problem of the smell of gas fumes when the tank is full, though. I have yet to find a leak or what is causing the smell. And the rubber gasket between the filler tube and the tank is okay and a very do-able fix, especially when the tank is dropped.

Here is your fix if it is the vent hose on the top. I just did this and it is not that hard.

I did not have the OEM replacement so I rigged up another hose and all seems well. Has not leaked for 5 tank fill ups and no more gas smell in the cabin.
Hope this helps some of ya'll with the fuel tank vent hose leaking issue.
