Would anyone , off the top of their head, happen to know what kind of fastener is *supposed* to be holding the fuel filter on, on a 2000 xc70 ?
I say Supposed to be, as I cant quite get a good look at it, but since I own every size torx and allen head ( regular and security bits ) known to man and not a one of them fits in there tight enough for me to feel comfortable to want to put any torque on it, either its an oddball, or like a few other bolts on this thing, someone previously has tried to use an undersized torx bit or allen on a fastener and has stripped out the head ( Ive already had to break out the drill twice on this thing for that reason , so I won't be shocked if I have to again )
Thanks

    Hi Robert,


    T25? Based on my research. Good luck.

      I;ll run it up on the lift and give one of those a good shot when the weather cools down .... maybe try gluing it in to take up the slack :-)
      Thanks
