gas filler pipe possible problem V70-XC70 2001

Get the strap away from the pipe for prevention. Use epoxy to block the hole. I took some high heat, heavy duty epoxy after sanding clean the pipe and covered the uncured epoxy with a piece of duct tape. This should hold for a long time I believe.
I did call Volvo customer service and they didnt want to know anything about replacing this part on warranty. The guy who I talk did not budge a bit. I believe it a wrong move from Volvo since It will piss of many owners, especially that their is certainly is not a 10$ one and the cause is their own craftmanship. I am so glad to share this one with you, information is key. Im sure you guys will spread the word around. I am starting to miss my RWD Volvo and starting to dought very much that my next purchase will be at a Volvo dealer. They are just not what they are use to be.

Volvo for now,
I dont know about the life deal anymore
