    There is some fuel leaking from the hose located next to the fuel tank
    on my Volvo 740 GLT -88b. I don't think it is a hole in the tank but
    have not been able to take a closer look.

    When I called the local Volvo-dealer I was told that the whole armature
    in the tank had to be replaced and the cost for that and the work would
    be about 4000 sek (~500$) .

    Do you think there is some cheaper way to fix this, I wont spend that
    kind of money on this old car?

    A fitting is probably loose.

    Inspect the hoses and connections, and tighten it if that is the case.

    It could be a worn hose.

    Doubt it is what the dealer said (rip off).
