Does the main dealer not have it?

According to this link, still available. https://classic-volvo.com/brandstof-...-30617311.html

If that is no good, looks like it will be secondhand from a breaker.

Yep tried main dealers. I think your right looks like a breaker. It seems wrong a perfectly good car ulez compliant having to be scrapped because of a fuel pipe !

If you have the old pipe, there's a company called Pirtek who might be able to help. They make hoses for excavators, mainly hydraulics. I'm not sure if they do fuel hoses, but you could ask the question.

Google them.

Thanks for that Pirtek unfortunately do not deal in Petrol pipes. They did put me on to Think Automotive Ashford TW15 who do. Think have agreed to take a look at it. Thanks

That's great. At least you've found someone that will hopefully sort it.

I had a feeling Pirtek didn't do fuel hoses, but if anyone would know who did, it would be them.

Fuel pipe
 
After exhaustive enquiries for a fuel pipe I gave up. What I did not count on was that Glen at GB Autos North Cheam came to the rescue. His son phoned round everywhere with the same result as me . Glen then then thought sh or bust cut the pipe where the wear was (it had rubbed on the tank) and fitted little compression joints on. It worked and has been ok since fixing over a month ago. I cannot thank Glen and Tom enough for their skill and care
