OEM pump was 65 psi but I cannot recall the GPh.
I went into the local store with those specs and found a delco pump, same size and shape, two port. No issues at all for the p1800 ES, been quite a few years now...at least five or more. I got the specs from the Volvo manual, but the djet is all the same in a Volvo except the mps, and the temp sensors. At the time I went looking the Bosch pump was well over 200 bucks and we wanted to see if there was another option. I documented it here in a thread...maybe I even put a part number. I was less than 75 bucks. Rich |

Thanks for the instructions on the plumbing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Installed the new Bosch two port fuel pump from GPR yesterday. Made a trip to the local ACE for the hardware I needed. I ended up going with a 59 cent pipe mount to secure the pump to the firewall. I didn't want to drill new holes, so I modified it slightly to line up with the mounting holes of the original 3 port clamp. Cut pieces of rubber hose as vibration dampeners where the mount meets the firewall. The pump itself pulled up tight against the firewall as well, so I ran a piece of thick mastic electrical tape along the back of the pump. A couple lengths of hose on the supply side, some brass hose menders and it was done:  |
