I have just found out the vapor canister in our 855 is missing, and reading some posts now realize it is a common problem in these cars. Being that the vapor canister is more or less a generic accessory, has anyone had success fitting a more common (hopefully cheaper) than the $250 Volvo piece. Went to the U Pull It this morning and the oldest Volvo they have is a 1998!! I found some of the newer Volvos have a boxy (rectangular) canister, but since i do not know what the original looked like (i remember it being cylindrical),i can't tell if those will work.

Thank you all in advance

    Thank you Klaus, there are three hoses dangling from the front of the car (that is how i found out the canister was missing), in fact, the larger diameter one still has an elbow on the tip, so i think i only lost the canister, the tubing seems to be OK.
    unfortunately the 1998 850 at the salvage yard was smashed from the front, so i could not get that unit. next opportunity i have i will visit the other salvage in town (Pull A Part) to see if i find something.
    Where have all the Volvos gone? Sounds like a good name for a song.

    Missing? That explains the gasoline fumes. Actually, the 1998 canister would have fit. You might have to make a bracket to hold it in place, or just remove the bracket from the 1998.

    Also grab all of the vacuum lines at the canister while you are at it.

    Yes, the 850's are getting scarce.
