Ayuh,... Why would you want to do such a thing,..????

The mechanical pump is more than adequate,+ is Reliable,...
They've been doin' the job for about 50 Years...

Re: 3.0 volvo

That would be a waste of money on a brand new engine. Besides, the mechanical pumps are more reliable than the electric pumps.
If you are wanting to get rid of the mechanical pump because of the filter in it, why don't you just get a water seperating fuel filter kit and install it between the engine and the gas tank, then change it yearly. The fuel pump will probably outlast the engine anyway.
