I'm pretty convinced that my hot no-start condition is caused by a non-functioning in tank fuel pump. I think I can do this job by myself but there are a couple of things that worry me. The car is a 1987 240, California car - no rust, so assume rust issues will not be a problem when I remove the sender unit. It's a late model 240, but I don't know if I will need to replace that rubber hose connecting the tube and pump.
Concerns:
1.) removing and replacing fuel line connections on top of sender unit
2.) making sure I get a good replacement pump
3.) not sure exactly what parts I will need - I don't want to get halfway through and discover I should have ordered a part I don't have.
I see around 3 choices other than going to O'Reilly, Volvo Parts Dept, or eBay
