Slow fuel delivery solved. conlcusions...? 700 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Lawrence on  Tue Oct 9 14:15 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hey board,

I replaced the fuel pump and the filter. solved my fuel delivery problem.

But I still dont know, conclusively, whether the problem was with the pump or the filter.

The pump I was running was not a volvo pump. It was a generic kind of pump that I paid about 100 bucks for(new)3 years ago. I think it came from "car quest"

The pump had been groaning for a couple of months at least. However, I checked the intank pump and it appears to be working. I did note a bunch of crud that came out of the filter and lines when I opened things up.

I guess what Im trying to figure out is what failed, and to make sure the replacement pump doesnt suffer the same fate.

Are there any other steps that i should take?

The pump that I just put on the car is a volvo pump. Its been sitting on the shelf for about 3 years. It has about 114,000 miles on it. It delivered the goods immediately(well, there was a slight delay while pressure built up).

Thanks
