I am still a novice on Volvos, but if it is a two-pump system (an in-tank pump also), it sounds like only one pump is working and the problem is in the tank.

I would reccomend reading fuel pump problems and diagnoses from the 700/900 FAQ. Does the car have problems accelerating after the engine reaches a certain number of RPMs under load?
