i have a 96 non turbo glt sedan how do i clean out the flame trap ive heard about, is there any pictures and a write up? I am trying to get my car all cleand out and running smoother
has anyone ran a sea foam treatment through the brake booster line going into the motor? or is there another spot to do it on the volvo.

 

Hello again mordezmoncou,

As my 850 was a turbo, I don't know much about the flame trap but the following may be of help:

I wouldn't worry about the brake booster; its lines hardly need cleaning.

If I were to use any type of cleaning additive, that would be Techron fuel system cleaner (the larger bottle would be better). I would never bother engine treatment or engine oil additive (tranny fluid additive, coolant additive, etc...), as they can neither benefit or harm anything in most cases.

Also, if you don't have a service manual, like Haynes, I would get one and it's a cheap &beneficial investment though it lacks some vital info for serious servicing.

I hope this helps.
