I own a 2002 Volvo S60 and have had a strong fuel odor. It does not start right away when turning the key, most times it takes pumping the pedal for the car to start. I live in North Carolina where the weather is hot. I have read in a recall (NHTSA has a campaign number 07V152000 and Volvo has campaign number R176 ) that this problem is a recall but only for Arizona and Nevada. This recall should be for all states especially states like nc and Florida that get just as hot. This is a safety issue for other states also.

Fuel pump leakage and smell inside and outside of Volvo S60. This is a known issue and Volvo has issued a recall in the states of Nevada and Arizona for a defective plastic pump housing. R176 is Volvo's recall number and NHTSA's number is 07V152000. Volvo refused to replace my fuel pump as I'm in Florida. The local Volvo dealer did not have the fuel pump in stock because it was on national backorder so they know there is a problem with the design yet refused to acknowledge anything was wrong. I believe Volvo is being dishonest about fixing their safety defects.
