OK Volvo geniuses, I think I've got a challenge for you... I have a 1984 Volvo 244 DIESEL (very rare as you know!) that was in great shape when I bought it 2 years ago, only has 90,000 miles on it. I love this car.... but about a year ago it began to act like it was running out of gas at odd times, especially when it was cold. This began to get worse.

Soon after that I began to smell gas fumes that intensified when the "running out of gas" symptom occurred. It runs much better on a full tank. I've changed the fuel filter and replaced most of the gas lines... to no avail. It appears to be leaking just left of the fuel filter (passenger side) of the engine... in that general area... the exact position of the leak is hard to determine. (That's where the fuel/injector pump is, right? Just found that out in Chiltons)

I haven't driven it in months because of the Diesel fumes, and Diesel mechanics here in Denver are scared of it... I would love to have my car back, any ideas Volvo experts???

Thanks so much

Mike
