It is possible to do this without dropping the fuel tank or the suspension.
On my XC70 I simply removed the wheel arch liner and removed the filler pipe through the wing after I had taken the locating spring off the rubber gasket under the fuel flap. Reassembled the filler hose and the breather hose with new rubber pipes, fitted the jubilee clips to both before pushing them onto the tank inlets, with a bit of fiddling and swearing, then tightened the clips up. IIRC the pair of pipes from my local Volvo dealer were under £20.00.
Cheers,
Tony
