George,
I went thru a long learning curve on this clogging with a '73 142. The tank was really rusty and kept clogging the filter at the bottom of the pickup line in the tank. Go maybe 2 miles then die. Wait a minute or two an it was good for another 2 miles, etc.

I finally replaced the tank with a nice used one from Hirsch in Phoenix, but somewhere in all this I was told by some former Volvo tech that Volvo recommended removing that pickup filter. So I have 2 new ones as souvenirs.
