A better price at the pick a part?

I just finished replacing the frequency valve on a 82 240. It uses the same type hose and slips over the same type barbed end. I used a heat gun to soften the end of the hose before pushing it over the nipple. I practiced on a piece of old hose before making the final connection to the new valve. This way I was able to confirm how close and how long to apply the heat without damaging the tubing and still be soft enough to fit it up fully. I also installed a hose clamp over the connection when finished. The clamp may not be necessary, but it helps my peace of mind. Be careful, this hose must carry high pressure gasoline. Even a small leak can be hazardous.

I bought the fuel line for my '89 a couple of years ago. The line came with the "banjo" fitting attached.

Actually, I only wanted the "banjo" fitting, but Volvo doesn't sell them separately. I couldn't find the fitting locally, and I couldn't wait for a special order, so I just paid the outrageous asking price for the whole assembly.

Those fittings are difficult to find, despite the fact that many European cars use them.

You can soften the plastic tube up by placing it in a cup of boiling water. (Use the microwave) Be sure to only heat up the part of the tube that will go on the connector or it won't have enough rigidity for you to be able to push it on.

Kyle245......23mpg in the city and just turned over 170k last night. wooohooo!

Seems like I remember reading in the manuals that you are supposed to warm up the ends of the hose with a heat gun (don't melt) then push them over their barbed fitting.

Good luck,
