How long does Volvo 940 fuel tank pump last?

Measuring the fuel pressure at the rail, crudely with a tire gauge, the same effect was seen – sometimes 25-30 lbs, other times about 5 lbs. This exercise is shown on a ’92 940 with 142K miles. The in-tank pumps seem to last perhaps 150k miles. Note similarities between the two tank pumps on the left:

How do you disconnect fuel tank sender in a Volvo?

Then disconnect filler hose: To remove the Volvo quick disconnect fitting on the fuel outlet line (the 90-degree fitting below), grip the outer sleeve, and push that outer plastic cylindrical sleeve towards the top of the fuel tank send unit.

Put five more hose clamps onto the short section of new fuel injection hose, before sliding into it the brass splice tube. Then, slide the brass splice into one end of the fuel hose (that runs towards the engine) and also into the short length of fuel hose, that runs to the 90 degree brass elbow.

What kind of clamps do I need for a Volvo fuel tank pump?

The large clamp holding the fill hose is Volvo p/n 943477-0; buy two of these. The smaller clamps are 943471-3; buy four of these. The spring clamps are 1321719-5; buy one of these unless you want to replace it with a screw clamp (recommended).
