Well, I certainly agree that a FI car is capable of a backfire, and not being very familiar with carburetors, I couldn't speak to the likelihood being less (or not).

I admit to taking some long-time forum members at their word, mentally recording the Brickboard gospel, especially when I was just starting out with my 240s. For instance, until recently, I still held tightly to the lore that says the coolant draincock is always seized, and you better not use it.

Even in the event that we find a TSB confirming Volvo's exhortation to toss out the flame trap screen, I think it is, as you say, a personal choice. But I would like to find that TSB.
