2004 v70 fwd steel tank fuel pump V70-XC70 2004

I have a 2004 v70 2.5T titanium modelfwd only with a steel tank. It died and left us stranded because it lost fuel pressure. Anybody know the correct part number for the fuel pump and PEM. The PEM had a lot of corrosion in it but it started up and drove up onto the trailer as I removed it from the AAA approved garage that wanted to charge me $860 just for the pump. Is it possible to clean and reseal the PEM?

    I'm confused. You cleaned up the PEM, put it back in the car and it ran? So, now you think the pump is OK? Will the cleaned up PEM last for a while? Probably, depending on how bad the corrosion was of course. Keeping any moisture out will help.

    Having a garage replace the pump will cost you, about $300+ in labor and another $450 for an OEM pump. Aftermarket pumps cost $130-$250.

      2004 v70 fwd steel tank fuel pump V70-XC70 2004

      The car sputtered and died. It was towed to an AAA garage who determined it needed a fuel pump but wanted mega bucks to do it. I called my mechanic friend to come and get it and told him I would buy a new pump and get it sent to him to put in. The car restarted at the AAA garage and I drove it up on the trailer. It had sputtered into life when it had died but when I pressed the schrader valve on the fuel rail there was no pressure and it barely ran. It had sputtered and lost power a few weeks earlier. It had missed a few beats a month ago. A local garage had determined it needed a new Fuel pressure regulator which was installed. It ran fine for a month.

      I suspected critter action as it was always full of chewed acorns when I looked under the hood. When my mechanic looked at the current problem he was not able to see a part number for the pump and because it has a metal tank it seems a bit different.
      When he opened the PEM there was corrosion visible inside the cover. It took me a lot of internet searching but I think it uses the same pump as an S60 and have ordered a W0133-1835654 pump and a used PEM 30769225 even though the original was a 30636431 I hope these are right but I will not know until they arrive next week. It seemed to make sense to replace them while it was opened up the car is 16 years old with only 145,000 miles so I hope to be trouble free in that area for the next foreseeable future. The critter action still haunts me though. Thanks KlausC for the response.

        The 306 was superseded by the 307 control module. You should be good to go with what you ordered.

          Final update. Pump ordered was correct installed along with a used PEM and car is working fine so far.

            Late to this party...have questions V70-XC70 2004

            Hello, I just saw this thread for the first time.
            I have a question without having a problem.

            When I bought my 2007 V70 it wasn't until I searched for the fuel filter did I finally learn that my car has the steel tank.
            I can live with the "lifetime" filter because it's out of harm's way in the tank, a foot long and fuel is very clean these days.
            I have yet to learn why Volvo had steel tanks as well as FRP ones.
            Also, I learned that my assumption that 2007 was THE ONLY YEAR Volvo installed steel tanks in the P2's was incorrect.

            I looked in a parts catalog and the 2 pumps offered for my year V70 differed between the steel and FRP tank. One was said to have a flange and the other did not.

            Thanks for including part numbers in your posts. Did you take notice of your pump's flange or lack thereof?

            Also, my PEM had been relocated into the spare tire well without being fastened. I used silicone sealer and glued it to the side of the well. Should I open it up and clean it and/or coat the cover so it doesn't corrode?

            Thanks in advance.

              Am I the only one who likes plastic gas tanks? They don't rust and there is little if any 'crud' build up on the inside.

              The fuel pump has a small filter to keep solids out of the fuel lines. I have never seen a dirty 'sock' filter. The old style filters would collect water and clog, especially with our ethanol mixes.

              Volvo moved the PEM inboard on later models, you should be fine with its present location. There will not be any water intrusions to the circuit board, unless you live through a flood.

                Thanks for answering.

                1) By MY2007 were all V70 fuel tanks steel? What is their capacity?

                2) I too like / prefer plastic gas tanks. My friend's Chevy S-10 had a plastic tank and the manufacturer included a carrying handle. I'll bet the handle was specced so workers don't drop them when they go to pick them up.

                3) Any reason why Volvo (or anyone else) would have both on their assembly line? I'll bet it's for redundant part sourcing and/or efficient use of existing steel tank production facilities.

                Thanks

                  18 gallons is the stated capacity in my owners' manual.
                  Is that a revised number for steel tanks or a leftover number from plastic ones?

                  Is the steel tank's charcoal canister plumbed the same way as plastic? The flimsy "J hose" on my 2002 comes to mind.

                    Plastic or steel: I'll bet that the contract for steel tanks didn't expire before moving to plastic. Volvo has a history of using 'older' parts in newer models until the 'old' parts are depleted.

                    The tanks have been 18 gallons since the 850's, if not earlier.

                    The EVAP system has been completely re-plumbed, thank you Volvo. Or thank California because of their 10 year requirement for emission standards.
