I appreciate the reply and information. I replaced the fuel pump vice the whole assembly.

When I get home this evening I will try your suggestions and let you know of the outcome.

R/S,

Re: Need to Find Paint Source of Supply

Typically they come back with "gray" which is not the color and they cannot seem to get past that. If I provide the paint or where they can get it from that ensures that my wifes' Volvo stays its original color.
