Hello, I just saw this thread for the first time.
I have a question without having a problem.

When I bought my 2007 V70 it wasn't until I searched for the fuel filter did I finally learn that my car has the steel tank.
I can live with the "lifetime" filter because it's out of harm's way in the tank, a foot long and fuel is very clean these days.
I have yet to learn why Volvo had steel tanks as well as FRP ones.
Also, I learned that my assumption that 2007 was THE ONLY YEAR Volvo installed steel tanks in the P2's was incorrect.

I looked in a parts catalog and the 2 pumps offered for my year V70 differed between the steel and FRP tank. One was said to have a flange and the other did not.

Thanks for including part numbers in your posts. Did you take notice of your pump's flange or lack thereof?

Also, my PEM had been relocated into the spare tire well without being fastened. I used silicone sealer and glued it to the side of the well. Should I open it up and clean it and/or coat the cover so it doesn't corrode?

Thanks in advance.
