SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2001 VOLVO XC70 WITH 16,535 MILES IN AUGUST 2004, I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER (BORTON VOLVO) FOUR TIMES TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE: GASOLINE SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK UPON COMPLETION OF FILLING. THIS OCCURS AT ANY AND ALL GAS STATIONS, EVEN AFTER THE FOLLOWING REMEDIES HAVE BEEN TAKEN: VENT CLEANING, FUEL CONTROL REPLACEMENT, FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT, SENDING UNIT REPLACEMENT, EVAPORATION CANNISTER REPLACEMENT, AND FILLER NECK REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 VOLVO XC70. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE CONTACT STATED GASOLINE CONTINUED TO SPEW OUT FROM THE FILLER NOSE AND THE EMISSIONS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

VOLVO XC V70 2002 OCEAN RACE EDITION HAS DEVELOPED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AFTER DRIVING. THERE IS NO 1) LEAKAGE UNDER VEHICLE, 2) CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OR 3) APPARENT REDUCTION IN MILEAGE OR PERFORMANCE. I ALSO REPLACED THE GAS CAP, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. WE KEEP OUR VOLVO IN THE GARAGE UNDER OUR HOUSE AND THE GASOLINE SMELL HAS BECOME SO BAD THAT WE ARE NERVOUS ABOUT LEAVING IT THERE AT NIGHT SINCE THE UPSTAIRS BEGINS TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE. WE DO NOT KNOW IF WE ARE CREATING A REAL SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THIS CAR? IN RESEARCHING 2002 VOLVO V70 …
