Mark, what Craigd2599 was saying is that he got the Volvo pump from Darrell Waltrip Volvo (volvo dealer from TN) for less than $90.
If you rather want use Volvo's call
Darrell Waltrip Volvo
615-599-6294 direct
1-800-679-6124 toll free
Ask for Jamie or Don.

I go to a bible study at Darrells house on Tuesdays, and I actually bought it FROM Darrell, Mr. Smartypants.

ok only kidding about buying it from Darrell. But I do hang with DW at his bible study. He's a good cat! ; )

Like confused_al said to you:
He recommended to me that Walbro fuel pump kit at eutopartsdirect,but the reason i didn't use that kit is that they don't ship overseas(i live in Serbia)and most of stores which sells Walbro pumps do not ship outside u.s.
Warranty for Walbro pumps is 1 year,and from all members at this site,it was just 1 complaint and i think that was forgerie.
Note this:

All stores which sells Walbro pumps gives warranty for 1 year,except one(if i i'm you i wouldn't dare to buy pump from them because their warranty is 4 MONTHS

).
That store is:www.fuel-pumps.net
Don't let them fool you with their sad story about forgeries,and that they are almost only one who sells Walbro originals!
Note that their warranty is just 4 months!
I didn't believed them!
P.S. Secrets for long life of fuel pumps are:
-do not let gas in tank to fall below 1/4 tank frequently
-change your fuel filter frequently(about 30-40k miles)
Good luck!

FIXED!

After ording a new Fuel Pump from Darrel Waltrip Volvo - good price by the way, I removed the older fuel pump to find out that inner Fuel Pump Hose had come lose. Slipped the hose back on, clamped it back down...and tada...all fixed. I guess I should have removed the fuel pump for a looksee.

Appreciate all the help.
