So I picked up a 1991 volvo 740 from a guy who said the only thing it needed was a fuel pump. Upon replacing the pump I decided to replace the filter, where I noticed the lines needed to be replaced, and the fittings going into and out of the filter needed to be replaced due to rust but I can't seem to find anything that will work. I went to both O'reilly and autozone and they had nothing that would work at all. If you have any info for what the fitting sizes they are, and where I could find them I would appreciate the help. Thanks!

 

Is this what you are looking for?

I expect it would be the same for a 740 but I'm not positive. Perhaps someone here can confirm.

 

It's one of the pieces I need, but I need all the bits that go into it as well. I appreciate the help so far though!

 

I've replaced the fitting-type filters with non-fitting style filters that have a long nipple such as: https://www.ipdusa.com/uploads/image...size_22412.jpg


You just cut off the fitting and just hook it up. No more rusted fitting problems ever again..!


Be sure to use fuel line clamps like this one https://www.carid.com/images/dorman/...ts/572-100.jpg (in fact, I like those a lot better than the screw type hose clamps for all hoses/lines, they just work better and are easier to use IMO).

I've been running a brick like that for a few years with no issues.

 

Thanks man, this is probably what I'm going to do

 

Happy to help (this board has helped many times).


If you have to replace rubber fuel lines, be sure to get pressure rated fuel injection line.


This is one of the easier ones to fix, I didn't even need to lift my brick.

 

Yeah, I made sure it was all pressure rated to handle what my pump was putting out
