2004 Volvo XC70 Gas Tank Problems?
When I try to fill gas, it stops the nossel flow after every 1-2 gallons. I have tried at different gas stations and this happens all the time. It seems like the sensor thinks that the tank is full and breaks the flow and sometimes even throws some gas out. Can you tell me what might be causing this?

There is a vent up near the filler neck, behind the fender, that allows air to escape the tank when filling the tank, I've seen this become the home of spiders many times, and this is the result. Sounds crazy, but check it out. Look up behind the fender, near the filler neck, you will see a...

Alternatives to the XC70 are mid-size crossover vehicles—those that pair the tall body of an SUV with the underpinnings of a car, such as the Lexus RX 350 and Acura MDX.

The RX 350 and MDX are both very refined with a smooth ride and good handling; the MDX feels a little sportier behind the wheel, while the RX 350 is the choice for those looking for high-tech features.

All of the vehicles mentioned have very good results in crash tests, with the MDX designated an IIHS Top Safety Pick for 2009.

The 2009 Volvo XC70 is also very similar in size to Subaru’s Outback, another wagon that adds ground clearance and enough off-road ability for deep snow or rutted trails.

Compared to the XC70, the Outback starts at a much more affordable price, and while its base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine provides only modest performance, the Outback feels sportier than the XC70 with either the turbocharged or six-cylinder engine.
