Small town handyman eh?? Can we assume that he checked your fuel pump relay?? In the 700/900 series cars this relay is located just behind the ashtray (ashtray comes out). I'm not sure which relay it is in there but if you check the FAQ in the "Features" menu, there may be a picture.
These relays are known to fail, the solder that holds the components on the circuit board tends to crack. If yours is bad then it can likely be resoldered...or you can get one from a local pick&pull (junkyard)...and even buy a new one ($$).
If it's not the relay then I agree with porkface, one pump may have overworked itself while the other lay dieing.
I would highly recommend you find yourself a mechanic who knows import cars, even better would be Volvo specific. These cars have their typical problems which anyone who knows Volvos can figure out in a heartbeat. If they charge more than your lifelong mechanic then so be it, they'll find the problem faster and fix it right the first time.
For parts I highly recommend using any one of the Brickboard advertisers. They are all top notch businesses. I personally use FCP Groton, based in Groton, CT. Check out their web page fcpgroton.com
Good luck with your car. My money is on the fuel pump relay.
