Saab 9-3 (9400) M98-M02 with engine variant D223L and VIN within the range W2050007-22038723
The pressure when opening the filler cap combined with a clogged roll-over valve can deform the fuel tank due to a vacuum that is created. This results in deformation of the tank sensor armature, which in turn results in higher pressure in the fuel return line so that its snap-on coupling can loosen and fuel leakage can occur. To ensure that there is an adequate air supply, a new filler cap has been produced to change the opening pressure from -8 kPa to -2 kPa.
