[QUOTE="KB3MMX, post: 5467995, member: 156604"]Something else to consider is, fuel filter quality on the Volvo is sub standard for the injection pressures used. The stock filter is only 5um and not absolute rating. None of the aftermarket filters are any better either. One thing I have done is started using the 7um davco filter to catch a little more particulates before they get to the crap engine mounted filter. Anyways.....the pressure of these injectors requires considerable force applied to the injectors. This force pushes the injector up/down within the cup as a flexing. Eventually the deal at the injector tip or the seal to the head fails from the flexing. The steel cups flex far less than brass....but don't totally fix the problem. .[/QUOTE]
