Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

The pipes to/from the fuel filter are fitted with quick release couplings as in the attached:

can you tell me where the fuel filter is located?

It is under the car almost directly under the driver's seat on left hand drive models, front passenger seat on right hand drive models.

When changing the filter be prepared for some fuel spillage as the system will be pressurized. You can relieve the pressure by starting the engine and pulling fuse#4, fuel pump fuse. The engine will stop when the line runs dry.
