Those are gasoline nozzles that have been incorrectly installed on diesel pumps, usually an ignorant service worker.. those largely got fixed when VW/Audi/BMW/Merc all started putting misfuel adapters on auto diesels.. tho a few remote locations might not care, I know of one in Limon CO and Ive been avoiding it forever now.
One of these adapters are good to carry, the'll take care of wrong nozzles if your in a pinch and cant find anywhere else.. also good for adding fuel additives too.
Just replace the FPS by yourself. I did it and it was easy, following the excellent writeup in this thread: http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthread.php?154495-How-to-Change-your-Fuel-Pressure-Sensor-on-the-T5-engine
You can buy the part from amazon, $56 - http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Motor-Products-FPS18-Pressure/dp/B005F9IZTO
As for Volvo not recalling this identical part on every car? Welcome to Volvo. They don't recall shit. Millions of Volvos have clogged/leaking sunroof drains, stemming from poor design. Volvo straight up refuses to address the issue and has fought a class-action lawsuit tooth and nail.
I have a pair of these on my bike. https://smile.amazon.com/Ride-On-LED-Smart-Caps-SCLP-BP2/dp/B00LFZVRZQ
They flash red when the pressure had dropped some (only on the tire side, so heat doesn't affect it much).
You can only see the flashing at night but it does work. You do need metal valve stems.. I ran the stock rubber ones for a while and when I had the tires changed the valve stems were starting to crack.
tightening your headset wont fix your "problem", its a function of the geometry of the fork and frame. tightening the headset will just cause the bearing & races to wear faster.
a steering stabilizer or this will help you out

Just a note: you can now replace just the amplifier board inside the FICM. Dorman 904-229 is available from Amazon for $110. It takes about 15 minutes with torx drivers to swap out.

At first glance, this crosses to a very generic and plentiful part.

Most regulators that are worth anything do not have gauges on them out of the box. You have to buy a gauge and replace the brass plug with it. Super easy and cheap.
This is the regulator I bought... Notice the brass plug where the gauge is inserted.

To answer you OP, propane hoses are sold with different connectors on them... I bought the hose with the proper fittings, but if you must, you can buy an adapter. Make sure everything is taped up with YELLOW thread tape.
I picked up mine from a RC hobby store, and it's branded for RC stuff:
T. A. Emerald Performance Plus 4, TAE4200 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BMQGE24
I don't really have a preference for this brand. I'd just get something like this, since they are all pretty similar:

I ordered the simple kit.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GGVJQQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Q.9jDbHCE5BYN
This one is a very cheap M-Wave one, $10 on Amazon. But so far it works great.
well, the usual culprit to the rough idle is the idle air control solenoid/valve, which is this weird wax spring job in the vg's, and the 2.4's use something like so
those can be taken apart and cleaned, in theory, the wax/spring jobs need rebuilt.
a compression test can be done with an autozone kit, $20 rental you get back when you turn the kit back in. might be valves, might not. dunno if oreillys has rent-a-tools like that.
beyond those, slightly off timing can cause roughness, bad plugs, wires, distributor stuff.
inspect the plugs for fouling. i know a guy who's first cylinder had the at least some of the rings stick closed in the grooves, runs a little rough if the plug fouls, but once it gets cleaned up its right as rain again, and he can't be bothered to get someone to properly redo it right now.
I'll go in order from the CO2 tank down the line:
if there the plastic one they break really easy when you try to remove
them its common place. most mechanics aren't going to stop and try and repair them they just stick the plug back on the injector and call it good.
You can buy replacement ones though

Sure! I was later informed there are connectors available via amazon here that you can wire to your accessories that will plug directly into the stock wiring harness power points!
I couldn't find anyone. I ended up just buying rebuilt ones on ebay for cheaper than i could send mine off.
If you dont care about flow testing and just want to clean yours you can buy a rebuild kit and this

For anyone reading this later, I changed the throttle body with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071L9KH14 and the problem seems to be fixed so far. The code changed to stored instead of pending so I cleared it.
An added benefit is that the pedal is a lot more responsive now. It used to not give you any gas until you pushed the pedal past a certain point and then it gave a bunch, now as soon as you start pressing the pedal it starts giving a little gas. very pleased.

Who in their right mind would cut wiring off the vent control valve? That is part of the emission system and depending on the state, the car wouldn't pass inspection. If I'm right, this is a link for what you need for P0449: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-214-3218-Original-Equipment-Canister/dp/B00559VRDU
Here's the link for info on P0452: https://www.justanswer.com/chevy/7h2by-chevrolet-cobalt-ls-check-engine-light-code.html

Suggestion is to replace the solenoid first.
fuel pump testing kit, if you have a god tier local shop they may let you borrow a kit, alternatively get one for 30ish USD
I personally haven't done it before but this was the vid i watched on it
would help confirm if it's FP related or injector related
I use this one paired with this gauge and this connector, and love it.
If one were to rinse the salt out with rc car electric motor spray and they seem smooth, one could run them. I use a very light ball bearing oil with a needle applicator. I would put a very tiny drop on each of the bearings and wipe away any excess.
edit: I changed the links to amazon because reasons
I had this problem on my 6.0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtnvFF1zg04
less than $100 and it was good to go. No reprogramming or anything, as the main control module is still good. The powersupply on the FICM dies after a while. Easy swap out.

And I think TDI owners should have one of these for the hopefully rare occasion when the only diesel you can get is from the big commercial truck nozzle... I got mine after and I was able to squeeze some into my car but it was an annoying process.
Buy this before going on any long trips to avoid fuel nozzle compatibility issues
TDI Diesel Fuel Nozzle Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00696Y74O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VnbFDb2Q2ED0M
> Is that a car thing or a Euro thing?
I think it has to do more with the the smaller tanks in these cars. It would fill up too fast and foam would get everywhere. BMW actually gives owners an adapter to use commercial pumps (similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/TDI-Diesel-Fuel-Nozzle-Adapter/dp/B00696Y74O/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8), but then the auto click-off doesn't work anymore, so if you're not paying attention, you will get showered with diesel lol
Your VW dealer should be able to sell you the adapter. I bought one when I had my '09 Jetta TDI. It was less than $10. Comes in a capped plastic container with a pair of rubber glove.
Here it is for $12 shipped.
I grabbed a slightly different one from Amazon:
