WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
To ensure that there is no exhaust leakage, all mating surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned. Always replace gaskets, nuts and screws with new
ones. Always use those components shown in the replacement parts range for the relevant area. Use copper paste 1161 408
where indicated.
.
When installing a new fuel tank use new nuts. When servicing the fuel tank use the old nuts as the material expands. Failure to do so may result in fuel leakage.
Components to be replaced when installing a new fuel tank:
- The level sensor nut (white)
- The gasket for the level sensor nut
- Fuel pump (FP) nut (black)
- The gasket for the fuel pump (FP) nut
- The gasket for the fuel filler pipe.
Transfer the reinforcement plate from the underside of the old fuel tank to the new fuel tank. Transfer the protective plate from the left-hand side of the old fuel tank to the new fuel tank. Tighten to 10 Nm .
- Position the fuel tank on the jack
- Use the same fixture and lifting table as for removing it
- Lift the tank slightly.
- Raise the fuel tank so that the front holder can be installed on the bracket. Position hoses and wiring in the holder. Lock the holder by pressing it until it locks securely onto the bracket
- Ensure that the wiring routed through the hole at the fuel pump (FP) unit will not be trapped when the fuel tank is installed
- Raise the fuel tank. Secure the fuel tank to the bodywork. Tighten to 25 Nm
- Install the EVAP canister shut-off valve hose in the clamp on the fuel tank. Install the hose, air cleaner (ACL) and shield onto the fuel filler pipe. Use 4 tie straps.
- Install the connector/inlet on the EVAP canister. Check that its catch engages.
