The flame trap on a 1991 Volvo 240 DL wagon is located on the engine's intake system, specifically near the air filter housing. It is typically found under a plastic cover or near the breather box. To access it, you may need to remove the air filter and the cover to reach the flame trap for inspection or replacement. Regular maintenance of the flame trap is important to prevent oil leaks and ensure proper engine ventilation.

On top right in front of the fuel injector closest to the firewall. Has three hose connections. Big hose on top, little hose on the side and a medium hose on the bottom. Take off the little side hose first since the fitting breaks off easily. Then pull out of the bottom hose and top hose. Clean or replace.
