under the fuel filter is a drain plug ,open it to let some water drain out .then bleed it .by pumping up the fuel pressure .if you do not know how this is done let me know.i will talk you through it.
I would not suggest doing this repair yourself. It is a difficult job for a seasoned mechanic. I don't even rebuild them, I just get a remanufactured one from NAPA or Pep Boy's. Going thru Volvo will be even more expensive. You can go to Partsgeek.com or Autohause.com for replacement pumps. Is it leaking? I would also look into replacing the injectors at the same time along with the fuel filter.
The problem, is more than likely, related to the fuel pump relay, located behind the ashtray. There are two there, but the culprit is the one on the right! They are just above the fuses, But before you eject it, just gently twist l/r while turning and see what happens.
It could be a blocked pickup in the tank but is more likely a dead fuel pump. Pickuo is located in top of tank and is accesed through the boot(trunk) floor.
Fuel pump is under the right hand rear corner of the car and is mounted on an insulated plate with the accumulator.
Go to amazon.com, alibris.com, or abebooks.com and search for either a shop manual (best) or a Haynes-type guide. both will have wiring diagrams.
If this fails there is a store in Seattle that specializes in auto manuals but is pretty expensive. Paid $25 for an owners manual for my 1982 Volvo diesel, but they had it where no one else does. Don't have name but a Google search should turn it up - go the first route first
