New Volvo - Pics and Question on the fuel pump 200 1977

posted by  someone claiming to be MoncureWW on  Thu Nov 5 07:38 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Here is a picture album of the new-to-me 242. I have a question - what is the story behind what appears to be a fuel pump on the outside of the drivers' side of the gas tank? (see the pictures of the car from the underside) I have only ever seen in-tank prepumps. Is this an external pump - is there not in-tank prepump on the 77?

Any comments welcome - take a look. You can also see some of the somewhat bulgy hoses under the hood.

The pump shown next to the gas tank is THE fuel pump. Early 240's did not come with a prepump--I think the 260's had one earlier than the fours but may be incorrect on that. A prepump can be retrofitted. Keep the tank mostly filled to avoid problems--the main pumps push well but don't suck as well--hence the use of the push pumps-- Dave

Would ya know the part number, or where to find bolt-in replacement? I plan on keeping a spare handy in the trunk. I have to get to work, you know?
