2003 Volvo S80 gas fumes from fuel pump area
Smells problem
2003 Volvo S80 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 62877 miles
how do I get to the fuel pump if I have to replace it?
There are strong gas fumes coming from the rear of the car. A local Volvo dealer checked my Volvo and told me that the fumes were coming form the fuel pump and I have to replace the fuel pump, which is working great. Is it possible that a gasket or O-ring is bad?
