Smelled gas today and discovered that supply fuel line fitting at exterior of sending unit is leaking when under pressure. Anyone know if these odd pinch fittings are a replacement part? There isn't any slack in the rubber line to allow cutting off the old fitting, so I assume that Volvo sells it with a short hose attached?

    I think you're referring to the 'quick connect' couplers that attach to the steel line 'nipple' on the pump assembly?

    I bought a couple of these at Canadian Tire - they were made by Papco and they cost ~$12 each I think.

    The fuel system in my V70 is all vinyl line and it was a bit of a change from what I was used to (steel line and rubber fuel injection hose) but if you find somewhere that sells all the proper fittings for vinyl line you'll have no problem making the repairs you need. But it does take 'special' stuff.
