Hello All, I have been dealing with a problem that was not corrected by changing the main fule filter and using umteen pints of injector cleaner additive. The car runs very rich and the MPG has dropped considerably. It will occasionally stall when making a hard right turn. Any advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks

        Hi Joe, It has ~350k, I can distinctly smell gasoline when I start the car and the fuel pump relay was bought new at Volvo 4 years ago. Are you referring to the single fuse on the left fender? If so, it is intact. The amount of fuel in the car does not seem to affect it stalling on hard right turns either. Thanks for any help with diagnosing this problem. Noel
