Quick fuel question...
 

I just bought a 94 Volvo 850 turbo. It looks great but it has fuel issues. It'll only start if you bang on the gas tank and then it dies about a block later. When it is running it runs well.

The guy suggested it was the fuel pump but I get the feeling it might be some ---- in the tank.... what do you guys think?

fuelpump is loose or bad wiring perhaps.

take the tank off and investigate, nigroid

if the pump was going out would it do that? I'll be taking a closer look at it I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth it to buy a pump and try to drive it home or just slap the bitch up on a trailer.

trailer it now or trailer it later + pay for parts to attempt to fix it, its cheaper to trailer it now.

put it on a trailer and save yourself some humiliation and heartache... fuel pump is out. the banging on the tank is an old indian trick a white man taught a few people. nigrod...hahaha
