Your guides are easily my favorite 240 guides on YouTube, very confidence inspiring!

You described my 91's 240 car problems exactly! Thank you for this video.
And ironically, because of hurricane Urma, I was waiting for my "new" used 2002 volvo V70 to be shipped from VehicleVille a few extra weeks!

very nice detailed instructional video bro! I have a 89 240 and I need to do some maintaining. Your vids are very helpful to me. Keep em coming!

[savannaswildnatureworkshop]

curious....when you put the in tank back in place you used the old bung nut..not the shiny new one...what happened? Savanna

That fitting that you are tightening right at 6:58 at the output from the pump leaks for me like crazy. I destroyed the old coupler hose trying to get it off when replacing my filter so I bought a new one and it leaks like crazy. Is there supposed to be a washer there? Or are you just supposed to crank it down incredibly hard? i feel like I have a faulty new coupler...

Thanks man!
Gonna be tackling it soon as I’m in the middle of hobbling home.

Did fuse 6 keep blowing bc that electrical connection at the pump is bad ?

Cool video! I have an 88 DL and am going to replace the fuel sending unit itself soon. I believe the board that tracks the fuel level with the rising and lowering ball is completely worn out and I'm getting inaccurate fuel readings, so this video is very helpful!

Hey i appreciate all of you're video's about the volvo 240 dl i have a 1987 240 dl and you have helped me a lot with you're videos, Thanks and keep posting what you know about the volvo ..appreciate it

[nostart-jael]

Hey man these vids really helpful. But i need some advice. My 86 240 dl has a problem where sometimes in the morning it wouldnt start. It started happening more frequently. And rn im left with a car because now it doesnt wanna start at all. Diagnosis lead to either a shot pump or a bad relay

Did this job improved your car's performance? I have a 1990 Volvo 760GLE with ~250k miles and both pumps and filter have never been replaced. I am getting rough idle, and at times poor throttle response. I am going to do the main in-line pump and filter first. I like your use of the padded needle nose vice grips to pinch off the flow of fuel when disconnecting the fuel lines. But after removing the clamps from the fuel hoses, can you share any tricks for sliding off the hoses without damaging the hoses. I have noticed that the hoses on mine are very hard, so by crimping it, I am concerned about cracking it, in which case the entire hose may have to be replaced. --- I will appreciate your comments. Thanks.

Did he drop the tank or is he inside the car?

[jimholmes]

At least Volvo provides an access hole. Ford, GM and Chrysler you need to drop the tank (Full or Empty) to the ground to get to the pump.

[michaelppaull]

its a bung who now? haha thanks for the vid! diagnosing some fuel related stuff on an 84 right now.

[amiravollendorf]

I have the same power issues and originally I thought it was my spark plugs which I changed out and it help some but now my car will try to ignite but won't fully. I'll give this a try, hoping for the best

[moonglow]

What is the symptom of a torn fuel sock?

[curtismcmahon]

Thhhaaankkk this helped me do my in-tank pump without any hiccups 🤘😎🤘.... bung nut

[jessezink]

hope you’re still active. how tight did you put the banjo bolts ? did you have any leaks after checking for leaks.

[sharkT]

Hi Matthew, i would be cool if you place a link for the other gaskets & items like the ring nut from the fuel tank..i almost missed that but i had to review the video to make sure i wasn't missing stuff.

much appreciate you are taking a time and record this vids. Thanks for sharing bro!
