Welditup Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hey guys. I'm purchasing a 2000 volvo v70r in a week and need some help on what special tools I may need prior to my 4 hour drive to get the car back home. The guy selling it said there's a bad fuel like by the passenger side rear door area. His words were" You'll be lucky if you make it 20 minutes down the street with this leak". Through my research it looks like it may be a fuel pump breach/crack or fuel line. The seller cant confirm much of my questions due to a major accident he had recently thats left him unable to work or fix his cars. I'm going to pick up a fuel pump and some fuel line so that should be it I suspect....All goes as planned I'll have two volvos sitting at my house. Here's some pictures of the new whip soon! Any pointers? It looks like its a pretty tight area to work with the rear driveshaft/axle being there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://postimg.org/gallery/1o09avry6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEJinFBK Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 You might wanna do a little more research. A fuel leak can mean a burning pile of Volvo by the side of the road, and you aren't gonna be making any quick fuel pump swaps on this car. If I were you, I'd get a hold of a truck and a flatbed car trailer and tow it home. With the high probability of all the fun things that might happen other wise, it'll most likely be the cheapest way to get this car home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't plan on doing a quick pump swap on the road, I'm doing the repairs at the owners house. I'm heading up there first thing in the morning next week to work on it all day. Really hoping I get it all fixed in one trip cause its a 8 hour round trip driving by car,ugh! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEJinFBK Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Getting to the top of the tank is no cakewalk. The entire rear subframe has to be dropped. Just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
