Ford fuel pump works!!! cheap fix 700 1990

Fuel pump died on my 740 (B230F).Regina system. Dealer wanted $394.00 for pump/sender combo. When I took the pump out, it looked familar....Went into my old parts pile and had a pump from my old Ford Taurus (fuel sender was bad) and another from a 5.0 Mustang.. both looked like metal versions of the Volvo pump. Low and behold, they fit in the volvo mount. I used the Ford strainer (bigger than Volvo).and put it all back in. Car runs great and it cost me nothing..(it's been in for 300 miles) These pumps do flow much more fuel the the Volvo one, but excess is returned to tank anyway.

Hope this can help someone else

Clever, and great observation! I'll put that in mental storage for that inevitable day . . .

Thanks for the tip.

The Regina pump alone has a SRP of $175. It's electrical connections have to be soldered; otherwise, a straightforward replacement re-using the old sender.

Hey Joe,

On my 945 I think the pump acts intermittant, though in the cooler weather this weekend it worked perfectly. Were you able to get the whole thing out through the access port in the floor or is it an under the car job? I was quoted ~550 for the job....thats not turning me on. Thanks.

You can get the pump out thru the access panel in the trunk. Your 945 may have a differant system with a prepump in the tank and main pump under the car

Is this the in tank pump or the under the car main pump? Either way, it is good news. The in tank pumps I have taken out are Delco, so there should be a bunch around.

Regina systems use an in-the-tank pump only, none next to fuel filter.
