Been there, done that. Probably a bad fuel pump. I replaced/cleaned lots of parts and the only part left to replace was the fuel pump. Some of these cars have 2 pumps. If money is not a problem forget about the pressure testing and replace both, they are inexpensive. Same advice for the fuel pressure regulator. Also, the idea that you MUST use Volvo parts is, in my humble opinion, BOGUS. Go to NAPA or AUTO ZONE and you'll be OK. These things aren't Rolls-Royces, in spite of what some would have you believe. A friendly reminder; fuel vapors are HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE! Just be sure to disconnect the battery to make sure someone does not turn the key on while the pump is out of the tank. If they do, the Volvo will no longer be a problem.
