7am moving 60 mph in the fast lane and purring like a kitten- suddenly shuts down. Roll as far as I can and get it over off the side of the highway. Cold and nasty out so I call back home and wake Mrs R2 up (she so enjoys that), come get me, says I, the Volvo quit on me. Left the car, took Mrs back home, and drove her car to work. Put a new 'Fosterized' fuel relay after work and still no start. Called AAA and had it towed home. Today I check all fuses, put the rubber eraser on both fuel related fuses just so I know they're clean. Check the 25 amp fuse all ok - still no start. Took oil cap off and watched cam turn - ok. Pulled coil wire and got good spark - ok. Cracked the fuel line open, spun the starter - nothin', nada, zip, no fuel spurting out. So, looks like I'm fuel pump shopping in the next few days.
Question: I am assuming this means both pumps are dead, correct? Now, can I get away with just putting in a new main pump (the one under chassis) and not replace the in tank pump?
