You should be able to fix it by connecting a cap in line with the tuner output of the volume pedal - I'm not sure of the value but any fairly large non-electrolytic cap should work.

I assume you want the volume pedal after the fuzz and before any other effects? A simpler solution would be to put a buffered pedal after the fuzz and before the volume pedal, which would also block the voltage.

Re. the buffer idea. I have a Boss EQ on order which I suppose I could place after fuzz and before volume if required. Still puzzled why it is happening though if no power in volume pedal?
If the FV300 was buffered, it would block the voltage leak. But since it isn't, what you need to do is either add a buffer (easiest by putting a buffered pedal between the fuzz and the volume pedal), or by fitting a cap (a component which blocks DC) in the volume pedal between the input and the tuner out.
Yes, that should do it.

Fuzz > Volume pedal > Buffer (Boss TU2)>Tremolo
I thought I had followed your advice @ICBM except I see that you said Fuzz > Buffer > Volume (which makes more sense).
Any ideas why my order worked too?

The TU-12 is actually a very old and quite crude design - it's also got quite a low input impedance so if it's left in line with no buffered pedal in front, it tends to suck tone a bit. It works fine if you use the Boss BCB-6 pedal case with the PSM-5 pedal as the (buffered) loop driver, but not with true bypass pedals.
