Vehicle: 1997 855 T AWD, manual transmission, 212K km.

The shop diagnosed the non-starting problem as a bad (main)fuel pump. Diagnosis was made by disconnecting the hose and noting the (lack of) pressure at the discharge of the pump. They assess that the pre-pump is working properly. I am told that they need to drop the tank (7.5 h) and then replace the pump. They recommend replacing both the main (~$900) and pre-pump ($570) while the tank is down. The cost for the total job is > $2K .

On this vehicle, is there no way to get at the pump from the interior?
Should the pre-pump be replaced?
Is there a lower cost pump than that provided by Volvo dealer?
What is possiblity of adding an external pump?
