its intermittent now, but tried to strand me last outing. We stopped to eat, and when we went to leave, it didnt want to start. I finally got it started by easing it into reverse right as it tried to hit, essentially revving it up. the Volvo throttle doesnt have the button to shift to neutral.
During this time (and other times on the water) the fuel pump started with the whining. similar to the old 80s power steering pumps at full tilt.
I noticed when i changed the fuel filter that the painted mating surface was chipping away. I cleaned it with some sandpaper, and put the new filter on, no big deal.
That is until i started researching this issue and found the paint is the trouble maker.
Now, i dont have 600 pet deer laying around to drop on a fuel pump, so i would like to attempt to clean out the pump myself.
Does anyone have any pictures? step by step? RnR instructions? anything? do i need any special tools to complete this?
When i remove the pump, will i have any issues with the fuel in the tank? im assuming gravity would keep it in the tank, but we all know what happens when we assume.
please teach me oh-gods of all things volvo.
