Re: 5.7 volvo fuel issues
i have a 2006 29 ft Monterrey cruiser 5.7 osi-e twin Volvo can anybody tell me if there is a filter between the fuel tank and the fuel pump?
I have a Monterey 302, 2001. My tank is very easy to get to so this might not work for you. After taking out the four screws in the cover over the fuel sending unit, I can take out the sending unit and look into the tank. Takes, 3-4 minutes.
Looking into the tank, I can see the pick up pipe and it appears that it has a screen over then end. Following the line up and out of the tank, it goes straight into the fuel manifold and the first thing there is the fuel filter that Don mentioned.
After that is the fuel pump. That is all!.
Look for my string reference "Can't get more than 3000 RPM" from engines. It might help.
The problem turned out to be what Slip Away said, paint chips in the high pressure fuel pumps!!
Good Luck
