Where in the UK can I get a new replacement in-tank fuel pump?
I took mine out, it's in a sorry state.
I can locate loads of parts in the USA but no search results for the UK or Ireland.
the price I got quoted here in Ireland from a Volvo dealer was E272+VAT. CRAZY
There must be an alternative close to home.....
Airtek seem to be common in the USA.

They are very good and fast. They do not sell parts but will send your request to several new and used parts dealers who will send you quotes. Remember that you willneed a new sock filter for the pump. They are not usually included.

 

Buy aftermarket. I bought one for mine for $40 us. Becareful when removing bung from tank it is easy to break the wires off. This cost me an additional $120 us for replacement part.

 

Does anyone have replacement instructions on how to remove and replace 1987 740 turbo in-tank fuel pump?

 

This should suffice.

the 240 and 740/940 gas tank stuff is *way* different.
