How to: Volvo 940 fuel filter replacement
I have done this on my 1997 940 with the single in tank fuel pump, the earlier cars had a second pump under the car next to the fuel filter. The method for changing the fuel filter will be very similar for the earlier cars.
First of all jack the car up on the rear N/S jacking point and out an axle stand under the car in a safe place. I put mine on a chassis crossmember so it acted as a handy mounting point for my lamp. You then need to clamp off the fuel lines either side of the filter before removing anything to stop your fuel tank draining out on to the floor, I had run my 940 dry o I didn't have to. Locate the hose fixings and undo them before anything else.

Now undo the two 13mm filter carrier retaining bolts and one 13mm nut. Now remove the 10mm bolt for the retaining strap. You can just slacken it and pull the filter out but I wanted to clean up the threads and grease the bolt.

Don't forget two new washers for the banjo bolt. Now you can refit it, when you refit it just put the filter back in the strap loosely, refit the carrier to the underside of the car and refit the lines and tighten them up, now you can tighten the strap up. This is to allow you to move the filter around to help fit the screw on hose on the back of the filter easier. Hopefully that all makes sense. Originally posted Here. Post any questions there.
