Thanks Spare, I'll ask my local guy if he has any of the cleaner you mentioned, and if he has ever done that.

Where can I get another fuel pump (90psi) and what do you think it would cost?

ebaisc power not sure on the price, if you have the large two pump vapor separator, they won't sell teh low pressure one by itself, you have to get the assembly, it runs around $750, If you have just a seprate pressure pump, I think Volvo gets around $250, aftermarket somewhere around $100. If you don't see it on basic powers web site, call them, drive down adn pick it up, while you're there throw a line out off the cape

Oh, forgot to say, only try reversing the power with the pump off the engine, would'nt want to start a fire and burn your V up

Thanks Spare, My local guy said he got it clean and said it's ok, I heard this 2nd hand from his son, I'll talk to him tomorrow and see for sure.
