Hi Paul,

Mark me down as advising against this mod the TB folks call an "upgrade."

The 86 240 just needs a working pre-pump to keep the main pump supplied with fuel, not a high pressure/high volume upgrade. Some of those TBers are bursting their tank-to-main pump hoses putting Wallbro 2-stage pumps in their tanks.

Surely there are those who love to out-think Volvo and spend money on "better ideas" who will disagree with me, but I say just diagnose it thoroughly and fix it.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
