I just ordered a flame trap kit and will be doing this replacement on a '97 850 non turbo. Just so I know what to expect, has anyone done this and what's the basic procedure? I thought I read somewhere it's a little difficult to access.

Thanks.

 

Did you just buy the Flame sheild and holder or the Vent box as well?

 

looks like just the shield and holder. From Volvo Parts Direct: Flame Trap, nipple, bushing, and O-ring. Cost about $7.00

 

It is very easy to replace. It is in the hose from the Air filter box to the engine. It is only inches from the throttle body. It turns to unlock the holder then pulls out.

 

That's good to know for removal. thanks Tech.
