Here we've got my '93 Volvo 940 sedan with the Regina fuel & Rex ignition system that developed a fuel leak out the top of the fuel pump assembly, due to rusting of the tubes that swelled & cracked the plastic. I acquired a replacement pump assembly off eBay - part number 3507495 - in excellent condition out of CA for the replacement. No fuel leaks in just about 1,000 miles since.
Enjoy!

Thanks for a very Nice "slow TV" video. Helped me a lot and gave me courage to remove the in-tank fuel pump on my 1995 944 B230 FK. It was complicated but your video gave me the courage to go for it. Picked up the pump and see to my delight that the hose was pulled from the pump. There was a one-time staple that has now been changed to a better one. Now the car is running again after 3 months of downtime. Thanks for your video!

Sköt du av originalledningen och klämman med bosch pumpen från fabrik, eller satt det en eftermarknadspump i din? Har kört 255l/t pump som inte lyckades pressa av originalledningen.

@mikaelhedman6449 9 месяцев назад

Bra fråga, kollade aldrig beteckningen på pumpen. Dock var det så pass skitigt runt om själva locket till pumpen så jag tror den suttit orörd från 1994. Klamret runt slangen vid pumpen var av engångstyp och en volvomek sa att det inte är ovanligt att de klammer som sätts dit original är undermåliga. Så jag tror att det är original Bosch eller annan? Har bilder på pumpen, slangen och klammer men ser inte beteckning tyvärr. Tänker inte öppna igen i onödan 😊

For anyone doing this: Twist the pump lefty loosey 180 degrees when you pull it out of the pump. You want to keep it just unplugged but right in there and twist, then you kinda feel when you can start pulling it outwards. By the end the pump will be 180 degrees spun and all the way out of the tank, reverse this for install. Take a marker and mark the "up" position of the unit so it's easier to align the pump straight forward facing (so you don't get delivery issues). Make sure the pre-filter of your pump is facing straight forward along with the unit. Make sure you get better hose clamps than original. Go to your local hydraulic shop and explain the situation, they should be able to find the right hose and clamps that can withstand being submerged in e85 etc. (The plier and worm style clamps suck here). The biggest tip is to be VERY careful with fumes. A full tank will burn but an empty tank will explode. (AFR is something like 14.7kg of air for 1kg of ron/mon 87-95). Keep it well ventilated and dont hammer any metal on metal (like the plier hose clamp on the breather iirc) which can create sparks or use a torch etc to see (flashlight). Do this in daylight/keep a light source further away and in a well ventilated space. If you're going to leave the unit open overnight, screw on the retaining ring again so it doesn't shrink (I've heard this can happen but hasn't to me). You can also take this moment to cover the hole with something which will protect against debris. Finally, do NOT attempt this if you're not somewhat experienced as a mechanic. Chances are you won't be able to get it right and now you'll need to drop the fuel tank to get your car started. Worst case scenario your car turns into a fireball. If that isn't discouraging enough then let me just say that getting the sender unit out is the easy part, and that pit in your stomach when you realise you can't get it back in will hurt more than paying a mechanic.

Regarding the check valve , the symptom I had was difficulty in starting after a shut down. I would have to cycle the ignition key a few times for priming the it would start right away. I gues the fuel was draining back.

@SmittySmithsonite 2 года назад

Yeah, that's the normal way they always fail. That one Volvo I had here took me a bit of time to figure out. I could hear the fuel pump blazing away in the tank, but then the car would die like it ran out of fuel! Was tough to figure out. I had to just remove the pump, and hook it to a battery while in a small container of acetone (so it would evaporate quickly). I had it running with not one drop coming out. Strangest thing I had ever seen. Then I'd tap the ground connection turning it on and off rapidly, and then it shot acetone 7' in the air! Been doing this a long time, and I have never seen a failure like that before, or since!

@diegosti 3 года назад

Hello, I am trying to buy a 940gl 1992 regina with 99k miles for $800 and the car last month 06/11/21 the fuel pump was replaced. The owner a 82 years old man said is running, but battery is bad, so I went there yesterday with a new H6 battery and did not start at all. If the pump is new could be the fuel pump relay? I guess it goes in the ashtray the one on the left? I really want the car it just needs love and cleaning.

@SmittySmithsonite 3 года назад

In all honesty, it could be anything - stale fuel, broken timing belt, no spark, clogged injectors or no power to them, etc.. If you have no voltage at the pump, then the relay is definitely suspect. Yes, it's in the ashtray. I can't recall which is which - there are several relays in there. You should be able to find a relay layout with a Google search. With an older owner, I suspect the car sat a while. My first check would be fuel quality. If what you have in the tank won't burn, it'll never start & run. When mine sat over a year and a half (probably closer to 2 years or longer, since I don't know how long it sat with the previous owners), even with fresh fuel, it took a LONG time to finally fire and run. I was cranking for a long, long time, over and over again. Had to let the starter cool off a few times. The previous owner attempted a fuel pump replacement, and set the harness on fire somehow - after that, he gave up and parked it. Even with a new pump and a fresh tank of gas, it still took a few minutes for either the injectors to clear out, or for the stale fuel in the lines to be purged.

Just bought the car for $500, 1 owner 99k miles all original 0 rust. The car failed 2016 and now is in my hands. I removed the fuel pump sender unit and it was touched by a trash mechanic. I re did the unit and put new pump, hoses. Everything works like new again. Lucky me!

@psmarcela8046 3 года назад

Not sure if you can help. My son has owned my old 1990 Volvo 740GL wagon with the Regina system for about 5 years. The fuel pump assembly has failed. Leaks gas and it's sitting at the shop. No auto parts has it. He has called a number of junk yards in our area (Oregon) now he is moving to calling some in CA. He's completely disheartened. The housing leading to the fuel pump by the gas tank is what's leaking according to the mechanic who is not helping very much with looking for the part. Who has this damn part?

@SmittySmithsonite 3 года назад

They're no longer manufactured by Volvo, so whatever is out there is all that is left. I got extremely lucky and happened to find mine used, but in excellent condition on eBay out in CA when I decided to fix the issue. Eeuroparts.com used to have them, but not sure if they can get them anymore. You'd have to call and ask. Best bet is to find one used, but still in decent condition somewhere. You could look on eBay, or use www.searchtempest.com for all of Craigslist and eBay in one shot. Craigslist would require you to drive to meet someone in person, of course, but might be your best bet, especially if someone happens to be parting out the same model vehicle in your area. You might find several other hard-to-find parts off the vehicle there that you need as well. Good luck! DON'T GIVE UP YET!!

Indeed they do! I've found with worm clamps, you need to crank them down pretty tight, and buy quality ones. I don't doubt the Volvo ones are good - they used to build great cars! Only had a couple come loose on me over the years - one on a transmission line on my '72 El Camino while way up in Ontario, and another on our '86 Grand Marquis upper hose as my wife was commuting to work. Both had been on there for at least 50k miles, probably more in the Merc.. The ones I removed from the old sending unit here were on for 4 years, and about 50k miles - still tight, no leaks, aside from that big crack in the unit. Thanks for watching, Hugh. 👍🍻

Nice video Smitty! Not only do you have to struggle with working in the trunk, but even more aggravation with the camera! Anyhow you got it done. I'll look into LPS 3, I've been using Fluidfilm and Woolwax for anti-rust protection. Hey, remember the old engine driven mechanical fuel pumps? TakeCare, Bill

@SmittySmithsonite 5 лет назад

Yeah, I miss those! $10 and 10 minutes, and you were back on the road again. A friend of mine just replaced his ORIGINAL, cam-driven fuel pump on his 60's Plymouth - 51k miles, but FIFTY years of service!! That's impressive. Just can't get that kind of quality anymore. LPS-3 is a bit spendy, but it's really good stuff. Holds up alot longer than most of the rust preventative treatments out there. It's cheaper to buy by the 5-gallon pail, and fill a Sure-Shot with it. Aerosol cans are around $10 each for 11 oz., & $18 for 16 oz., if I remember right. Takes a while to dry, but once it does, it's a thick waxy coating. Thanks Bill! Thanks for watching!👍🍻

@SmittySmithsonite 5 лет назад

I know, right? LOL! Sure has been alot of Euro stuff coming through these doors this year! Funny you should say that about the pump. This is the exact same pump I pulled out of a '88 Isuzu Trooper a few years back, too. I had the Trooper one up on a window sill in the old barn, and it matched the Volvo one. Go figure! Volvo used the best-of-the-best back in those days on the 940, so that pump must be a good one. The injectors in it are almost the exact same as my '86 Grand Marquis - just a different color. At 222k miles a few years back, 2 of the 8 were 3% out of spec regarding flow rates, according to the fella that bought them on eBay. I only replaced them because I broke the plastic base on one of them. Good stuff! Thanks for watching, Scuba! 👍🍻

@pacifiedherbicide 4 года назад

Thank you for going through the trouble of making this video. You mentioned you replaced the fuel pump on it once before, by chance do you remember what brand or model you went with?

@SmittySmithsonite 4 года назад

Thanks for the comment, and for watching the video - glad it helped! 👍😎 When I bought the vehicle, the fuel pump assembly was out of the tank and on the floor in front of the passenger's seat. The previous owner had bought a new pump for it, but had an electrical fire somehow attempting to install the pump. Luckily he didn't burn the vehicle to the ground! That new pump was also on the floor up front when I bought it, still in the box. Anyway, I believe that pump was a Professional Parts Sweden brand, if I remember correctly. I ran that for 4 years or so, and only removed it to install the new sender assembly in this video. I saved the pump I removed, as it's still good. They're a quality brand from what I've seen. I don't have a ton of foreign car experience, but with domestics, you can't go wrong with Bosch. Eeuroparts.com has a lifetime warranty on everything they sell, and they only carry Professional Parts Sweden, Bosch, and OE Volvo pumps. Can't go wrong with any of these, although the OE pump is extremely expensive.

I cant believe how much worse this job is compared to 240s. In the time it took me to disconnect the hoses, I'd have already finished the entire job on a 240. Not sure why this sender needs to have twice as many connections and half the working space of a prior model with the same fuel system. I've been trying to get the sender out for a half hour without breaking it and it just doesnt even feel possible to rotate it in the tank due to the baffling. As for the coloring, thats normal. Every one of these tank pumps ive seen has had yellowed plastic identical to this. Not sure about the sock, but thats the same one ive seen in every tank as well.

@abyssalsoul6216 2 года назад

So my 91 740 with Regina is still not fixed as yet. I saw a post about the fuel regulator that is on the sending unit itself and the person with the same symptom as I am having removed it and claims his car is now running well. Eliminating this pressure regulator will be my next move. The turbos do not have the regulator on their sending unit. Do not confuse this regulater with the dampner thats on the fue rail. Regina cars have one intank fuel pump and do not have a check valve

@SmittySmithsonite 2 года назад

Eliminating the regulator isn't the best course of action. In any condition except wide-open throttle, the injectors will flow too much fuel without the regulator in play, and your mileage will suffer, along with driveability, possibly. Never drove one without the regulator, so just an educated guess - any injector will flow more fuel the more pressure you feed it. Just like a garden hose. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "sending unit" and "dampner" - no such thing on these cars regarding the fuel system, at least not in North America. You've got the pump, a one-way check valve in the pump output regardless of which system it has (Regina or Bosch), a filter, then a vacuum controlled regulator up on the fuel rail above the engine. The Bosch system will have an extra external fuel pump along the frame rail - the Regina does not have this, so the 2 pumps are different and not interchangeable as far as I know. If the vehicle is suffering from fuel starvation, you need to fix that. You've got either a failed check valve in the pump, failing pump, low voltage / amperage at the pump power, ground, or both, clogged injectors, or a stopped up fuel filter.

@abyssalsoul6216 2 года назад

@@SmittySmithsonite Thank you for your reply. When parked If I slowly increase the revs there isn't any problem at all getting to max rpms. However if I gun the engine from idle it sometimes bogs down , sometimes misfires and eventually picks up in rpms. Since I can help myself somewhat I have renewed the fuel pump and filter , spark plugs and wires , rotor a dist. cap ,fuel pressure regulator at the fuel rail, new coil and ICM. Remanufactured injectors as well. I am not alone with this issue and one gentleman found that it was the pressure regulator ( located on the fuel sender /fuel pump assembly and attached to the output end of the pump and inserted in the fuel tank ) that was faulty. Unique , I gather with the regina system , is this fuel pressure regulator that resembles a mini ford brake master cylinder. This pressure regulator was determined by the gentleman to be bad and he bypassed it and has been driving his car without any side effects. I am willing to try this as these units are no longer available .As I mentioned also the turbos do not have this intank pressure regulator. The "Dapener" I am speeking about is another name , I suppose , for a pressure regulator and its purpose is to smoothen out the pulses from the fuel pump and this is the one you see in the engine bay on the fuel rail. The intank regulator , I take it , reduces the pressure to the overall system based on demand (?) I stand corrected if this isn't so . I do believe I am having a fuel starvation issue when I gun the engine. I will definitly report back with my findings. It's been a learning curve so far. Again thanks for your response. By the way, you have me thinking about the ground connection , I'll test that too. Regards

@SmittySmithsonite 2 года назад

@@abyssalsoul6216 You're welcome. Could be lean, could be an ignition timing issue. The symptoms fit both problems. Unless the turbo car is that different from the naturally aspirated version, I'm not aware of any in-tank regulator. The only regulator on mine and a customer's 940's is under the hood with the vacuum hose coming off it. Does look like a mini brake booster. On our vehicles, that's the fuel pressure regulator. Low vacuum (Heavy load, heavy throttle) allows full pressure to the injectors. High vacuum (Light load, closed or partially open throttle) pulls on the diaphragm and splits the excess fuel to the return line, reducing fuel pressure to the injectors. That's the reason for the vacuum line - it "tells" the regulator how much throttle or load you're giving. That thing you speak of on the outlet side of the in-tank pump is a one way check valve. That's what keeps your system pressurized at rest, so that you'll have a short crank time the next day, or hours later vs. an extended crank time to build pressure. That would be the symptom if it were defeated - instead of immediately firing with a turn of the key, the starter will crank for several seconds until pressure builds. My customer's 940 once suffered from a stalling issue caused by that check valve in a brand new fuel pump. It would flow a bit at first, then stop all fuel flow after a minute or so. Confirmed this when I removed the pump and ran it in a cup full of acetone (Used since it evaporates quickly). The car had already stalled, I removed the pump, and when run in that cup, not a drop came out the top. When I tapped the ground wire on the battery to rapidly stop / start the pump, the valve broke free and shot acetone 5' in the air. An interesting failure, for sure!

Got 4 tractors I'm working on, plus my buddy's '96 Tahoe that's all apart out there getting new axle seals, wheel cylinders, & a rear brake overhaul. Also discovered 2 of his U-bolts rotted right in half! Something didn't look right with the pinion angle, so I started looking closer. One U-bolt on each side completely rusted in 2. Ordered some shocks for him, too, since the rears are about half a month away from rusting right through. Some new E-brake cables will finish that job off.

@nickschiano450 2 года назад

Hey man it’s nick here again from before asking about the fuel pump. I don’t know how much you know about this car in terms of stalling but ever since I got the fuel pump done and it was fixed from the leak. Now, it’s stalling when I hard brake or go around a bend it completely turns off, usually starts back up right away after. It will start to stall, but when I press on the gas it jerks and keeps going but usually dies. I took the vehicle to master mechanics and somehow they can’t figure it out I think it’s bullshit they must have messed something up with the fuel system id say. What do you think? Thanks

@SmittySmithsonite 2 года назад

Hey Nick. Sorry to hear the car is still giving you a hard time. That has "bad electrical connection" written all over it. The symptoms fit. Those kinds of problems are extremely tough to diagnose, since it's intermittent. You'd have to try and recreate the issue with the engine running but parked. First, I'd do a visual inspection of the wiring to the pump - anywhere the harness rubs against sharp metal would be suspect. Wiring shouldn't be near the exhaust or driveshaft, but that's something to check too. If that all checks out, or you can't find anything obvious, I'd hook up a fuel pressure gauge somewhere where you can see it easily, fire the engine up and move sections of the harness from the pump forward until you can get it to die. What is more than likely happening is either the power supply is sliding forward into something and grounding out (not likely, since this would blow a fuse), or the power or ground is becoming open circuited when it slides forward. You can narrow down which part you're losing by connecting a jumper wire to the pump ground, and connecting it to a good ground in the trunk somewhere. If the problem stops, you'll know you have an intermittent ground.

Walbro was always a good brand, but I had one fail on a neighbor's 940 almost immediately after it was installed a few years back. I think I mentioned that in this vid. A check valve failed the wrong direction of flow, blocking flow out of the pump on occasion.

Hey buddy I have a 92 Volvo 940 just got the fuel pump replaced went to get gas ended up with all of it on the ground. You pointed out the leak you had with the tube, but with me they couldn’t get the part anymore like you said so I think they made a tube with copper or something is that the cause of my leak you think?

Mine wasn't leaking from the filler tube. It was dripping out of the top plastic of the fuel pump assembly. The 2 smaller vent & return lines rusted, swelled, and split the plastic open like a piece of wood. Every time my tank was full to the top, it would drip. Once close to 3/4 tank, it would only leak when driving, when the gas sloshed around. Parked, it would eventually dry out underneath until the next top off. If you have a leak after repairs were done, I would definitely check all that out. If it only leaks when filling, then that's more than likely the filler tube. If it leaks the same as mine did - at all times only when full, or only when driving at 3/4 tank or less - then it could be the seal around the fuel pump assembly itself, a cross-threaded plastic "nut" that holds the assembly to the tank, or a crack in the housing itself, like mine had. Also have to make sure it's not leaking out of the vent & return lines. Mine were all rusted and leaked like crazy when I first bought it. Cycle the key to get the fuel pump to prime with that access cover removed and a good, bright flashlight, and check for any line leaks. If you can get underneath the car after it sat overnight, you'll see telltale gas staining wherever the leak is coming from. That can help narrow it down. Good luck.

Thanks buddy everything was fixed. But the problem is now the gas gauge is not moving after this replacement. It’s stuck in the under halfway position but the tank is full. Does this mean something in the tank needs to be replaced now? Thanks for the help!

@@nickschiano450 - You're welcome. Could be just a bad connection where everything was plugged back in, or there's a problem with the float, float arm, or contactor for the float. I've had some in the past that required a light Scotchbrite sanding on the brass contacts to make a better connection, then the gauge began working again.
