Original poster back . Job done . Just want to thank everyone for their help . Very much appreciated . Now my next project is figuring out my backwards fuel filter . Seperate post about that . Thanks again . You guys are terrific .

As others mention, for the 940 B230FT *turbo* you're looking for the higher pressure single in-tank pump Volvo p/n 9438756 which includes the mounting clip and filter sock. Many parts houses list it as available and in-stock, but this often means in-stock at a Volvo distribution centre. That's why FCP is saying it can take an extra couple of days to ship. You can expect similar delays from many other parts houses.

The fuel pump is made by Bosch for Volvo. A number of parts houses offer a Bosch equivalent to 9438756 for about half the price under assorted part numbers depending on what comes with it. These aren't cheap pumps, so that's a significant saving. The current Bosch replacement pump, which is used in multiple applications, is mounted in a black foam collar rather than having a white plastic neck that the original Volvo has. I have every reason to believe it's of equivalent quality to the original (I have had one in for years with no issues). The Bosch pumps do not come with a new mounting bracket, but mount on the original clip just fine. Most, but not necessarily all (especially if you're buying off eBay), will come with the foam collar and screen pickup sock. If you don't get a screen, the original will likely be just fine after a quick cleaning. If you happen to order a naked pump without the foam collar, an SS ring clamp will work in a pinch. Wire spade terminals, a terminal connector block and rubber boots are often included, but I don't recall they're needed in the 940 application. According to the Bosch catalogue, the pump body is p/n 69594 (w/o strainer) and 69458 (w/strainer), neither shows the foam collar. Ipd lists their Bosch p/n as 69694 (pump, foam collar, screen and connectors), which I don't see explicitly listed in the Bosch catalogue.

There are many parts houses listing Bosch pumps in stock for around $100+/$10 with shipping often being the deciding factor. Just buy from a reputable imports parts house that specifically indicates 940 turbo fitment and 9438756 replacement and you should get everything you need. If a description says in-line pump, not to worry, that doesn't mean not for in-tank use, just that it pumps in one end and out the other.

Nothing beats real Volvo parts when doing repairs. However if you don’t want to fork over that much dough then it can be done with a non Volvo brand pump with some careful shopping....

For some reason the Autozone/Advance Auto/Oreilly’s/etc. can’t get their cataloging right when it comes to Volvo fuel pumps. They may have improved in recent years- I don’t know. But if you tell them you have a Volvo turbo and you need a pump that goes in the tank there’s a big chance you’ll get a low pressure pump. You may have to tell them you have a Regina system, even if you DON’T, in order to make sure you get a high pressure pump.

Over the years more than one person here on the BB have been sold a low pressure pump for their single pump system, only to have to do the job twice to get get up and running again.

Dear lummer,

Hope you're well. A fuel pump - at the end of its service life - can work intermittently but only briefly so. Worn motor brushes may just make contact for long enough, that the motor turns. Total failure is imminent.

As you have a turbo-equipped engine, the fuel and ignition system is of Bosch design. Up to and including the 1994 models, Bosch used a two-pump system: a small, in-tank pre-pump and a main pump beside the fuel filter, mounted on the under-side of the floor pan, beneath the driver's seat. For the 1995 models, a single, in-tank pump was used.

As a result, an externally-mounted pump will cannot replace the 1995 model's in-tank pump. Return it to Pep Boys.

The pump you need is Volvo # 9438756. It should be available from a Volvo dealer, e.g., https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/volvo-fuel-pump-9438756 .

While the system is open, you might want to replace the in-tank hose, that connects the pump to the fuel tank send unit. After 25 years' service, this hose doesn't owe you a penny. This is Volvo #3514604.

See the FAQs for guidance as to pump replacement.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
