Hello,

The pump FCP sells will most likely put out too much fuel pressure and I will not use them.

I insist that my customers use the Pierburg pump available right from Volvo, which I keep in stock or rebuild their original A/C or early Pierburg pumps which I also keep in stock.

I do this mostly to prevent the float bowls from overflowing gas onto the exhaust manifold to keep a potential fire from starting in the first place.

Can you believe it, but customers kind get pissed off if you turn their car into a fire bomb!!

So go ahead and use the FCP pump, but get a good fire extinguisher to take along with you just in case.
