Ended up towing it home behind his bosse's work truck.
Haven't got the jack stands out from under my parts truck yet, I was rather hoping that there would have been an acess hatch in through the trunk/under the seats. But it looks like we have to get at everything from under neath it. I didn't hear any pump action when he tried it, but I think his battery is a bit flat now, and I had walked over.
I'm thinking Wed/Thurs we should get him going.
If it ran out of gas it could've also sucked in air in which case you'd have to crank it for a little while to get it to pull gas again ..... or at least that's what i think happened to my car. Had to crank it for probably a total of 2 min before it fired up lol.
I had to replace a pump on a 90 740 Turbo. Again, I'm not sure if there's more than one (as there very well might be) but the one I changed was right beside the fuel tank.
I do work at a Volvo shop in Squamish. It might have cooked the fuel pump or both. Some 740's have 2 pumps. Gimme a shout Nick or call the shop @ 604 815 0085. Cheers.
I can almost asure you that if you or the budy ran out of fuel, then the fuel pump is cooked. Fuel pump in todays modern american and some eropean cars require fuel to be present around the body of the fuel pump and also passing though it.
It acts as a coolant to keep the pump from overheating. Fast way to verify this is check for voltage going from relay to pump. Check for fuel pressure by cracking fuel pump line. If it is a exernal pump like Bosch on mercedes, then check for fuel/voltage at the pump and that will tell you if its time to change it.
