Fuel Smell, Small Leak and Failed Inspection
Gents:
I have been getting an intermittent small leak code on my 2007 Volvo XC70. I don't get any gas smell or obvious leakage unless I fill the car and let it sit full. Even a few miles of driving seems to eliminate the smell.
The car failed inspection because of the code. I pulled the fuel pump cover today.
I could smell a little gas and see the residue. Two of the cast tabs on the locking ring are broken so someone has been into this before. I am guessing they did not use the right tool and all I need to do is replace the o-rings and correctly tighten the lock ring.
Thoughts?
Also, this fuel pump looks different than what is being offered at FCP and Ipd. I also don't understand why it has the "extra" vent there. I believe I have a plastic tank - I quickly checked it and it was not steel (non-magnetic) and it felt like plastic, but it was not obvious to me.
Thanks, Patrick
