Locating leakage

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Connect the leak detecting equipment hose for smoke  to the detached hose.

Fill the tank system with smoke. The time taken to fill the system depends on the size and volume of the system, and the performance of the equipment.

Visually check the evaporative emission (EVAP) system, using a halogen and/or UV lamp.

HINT: The supplier's instructions often contain useful tips to facilitate leak tracing. 

Stop filling with smoke.
