Sure wish every “You-Tuber’s" how to videos were as thorough as yours. I have Volvo Penta 5.7‘s in my Monterey sports cruiser and have chronic fuel pump problems. It’s been so helpful to watch you give instruction about how to check for problems and solve them without too much hassle. Thank you.
Troy, thanks for all your help.
Your videos are the best.
Keep making them!
Based on all your videos I was able to perform all your dyi tests and fixes!!
I find your videos to be extremely helpful. Great tutorial! I've watched this before but wanted to come back and make a comment on it. Straight to the point with clear instructions on how to do the job. Thank you for taking the time to make this great video. Your other videos is also very helpful as well.
Thanks for the video! My engines would start and run great on plane, however when I brought the engines back down to idle too quickly both engines would stall. Then it took a little throttle to restart back to idle. I found that the screens on the fuel filter regulator had never been cleaned (2004-2021)! The red OEM paint on the black rubber connector to the fuel pressure regulator had not been touched. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator screen with the Volvo recommended E-Clip replacement, and this problem disappeared! I can drop the throttles to idle quickly with no issues now. Thanks for the help! (2004 Chaparral 28 SSI with twin Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI-E bought in 2019)
Very well done videos. Detailed, clear and concise. Great info that set me on the path for a solution to my fuel pump problem. Nice job. Thanks!
I never comment on videos but yours are great. I have a 5.7 in a Osprey out here in Washington State in the Salt. I have a whinning noise. Your video got me on the right track. Super appreciate your help and I already ordered your gasket set. PS I am originally from Three Rivers Michigan and have been all over the state. Awesome!
Great vid. On my 8.1, I took apart the fuel cell and peered inside it for chips. Thank GAWD I didn't have any, but it was replaced a few years beforehand, so I didn't expect any. Hesitation/farts turned out to be a bad regulator.
Great video! Thank you. Sure enough, I had paint everywhere!
Thank you! And thanks for fuel pressure regulator e clip. Fast and cheap shipping 😊
Great video. I purchased a Carver boat with a 8.1 Volvo. Had the boat for 3 hours after a survey in the motor blew up. Found out there was paint chips in the injectors number one number three and number six. All those cylinders disintegrated they were leaned out. So apparently the chips got by everything else is so got into the injectors.
This is great! Thank you
Great informative video Troy, thanks.
Thanks Troy! your videos are very good quality and highly informative. And wow, your boat is super clean, I'm inspired.
Thank you for this video!!!
From north africa i say you BRAVO
Coming back to add my pump has been whining as long as I have had my boat (3-4yrs)
Boat has full power and no issues running.
After I found this video I ran several tests and couldn’t find any issues with pressure. I did clean the fpr screen, but don’t think there was much on it. I may pull it again and check as well as the low pressure pump again. I can’t remember if I actually cleaned that out, but I did check it.
Am I just lucky?
Volvo has a fix for the fuel pressure regular. You remove the screen on the regular and replace it with a c clip. Solved my problem for high fuel pressure.
Where can I get that part ?
@@adamyamaha3177 Just put ( Volvo 21491831 ) in google search and you will find the clip.
Your videos were a big help to me. Thanks
Your welcome. Thank you for the comment
Great vid and very interesting. I have an old OMC Cobra 4.3 V6 with a 4bbl Quadrajet and a mechanical fuel pump. I'm wondering why either V/P or their supplier would paint the inside of a fuel pump? I've taken mechanical fuel pumps apart and never saw any of them painted or coated with anything on the inside. Just plain aluminum. The odd thing is that the ethanol in fuel some of us have to use, is a solvent that hypothetically could dissolve paint!
Good work man thanks 🍻
Great TH-cam Channel! Do you ever find the pumps starving for fuel from the anti-siphon valve getting clogged or the screen getting plugged at the end of the fuel tank inlet hose?
Super helpful, thank you!
My motor is running great . But I’m getting a vibration during trim operation but can find a sweet spot where the vibration stops but when a turn the vibration comes back left and right turns ?? Ideas??
so what's the fix to get ahead of this preventatively? disassemble the whole assembly and try to remove all the paint that's on the inside? I assume new Volvo or even aftermarket have no paint now that the problem has been known about for so long? Thanks for the video.
Can you relieve the pressure from the fuel rail without a fuel pressure guage, by putting a rag over the pressure relief valve and pushing down the same you would to let air out of a tire? Is there that much fuel behind it?
Great video set. Could this still be a problem even if the boat starts and idles fine and seems to run fine other than low power/rpm at WOT?
Just have same issue with 5.7 L Gi-E.
thx for sharing this wonderful video! I just had my entire fuel pump and filter replaced and i’m afraid it has already gotten clogged up with paint that was left over? I appreciate you being willing to email me and trouble shoot this! Your a great resource!
Hey Rich, good point on this. Did you ever figure out if this was the case?
yes there were paint chips STILL in the fuel rail filter that he mentions in this video!
Luke Goodwin btw- I cleaned out that filter that Troy mentions here & now my Volvo Hums! no more whining!!
@@richcovey3886 That's great news! My fuel pump is super noisy and cuts out every mile or so when under load. So when im going 40-50 and planed off my engine will last about a mile before it starts to cut out and you can then hear the fuel pump whine and try and rush to give it fuel but it just seems to not be able to feed it enough fuel. What I do is turn it on accessory 4-5 times to fill the fuel filter and that seems to last me about 2 miles. Long story short, im replacing my fuel pump on Wednesday and will clean the fuel pressure regulator filter and screen again and hope that will fix my issue. I checked all the filters like shown in this video and all mine were pretty clogged up with paint chips, especially the fuel pressure regulator filter.
Luke Goodwin ok. but be sure ALSO take the fuel pump filter that is on the fuel rail that he mentioned in his video & clean it out with carburetor cleaner! Contact him anytime, he is available to help & is AWESOME!
Where do the pain chips come from?
I am a bit confused. Where does the paint originally come from into the fuel system? Where is the source?
I do have same question. Cuz have issues with my 2005 5.7L Gi-e
Would any of the supply to a 7.4 L GI Volvo penta? Mines fuel injected.
Can all these steps be done with out having to replace any gaskets or o rings?
I'm thinking about attempting this procedure before my next outing I just don't want to screw myself out of a weekend of boating ?
Thanks 😊
Troy, good video. I find the low pressure test port but not the high. I don’t have a fuel rail but instead the 2 hoses that come from the pump go into the back of the throttle body. Not sure how to check high pressure or where to locate the pressure sensor. Mine seems to be an older fuel injected model. 5.7 Volvo penta on a Four Winns. FYI. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Same here, 5.7 VP GXi-A. Haven’t found a screen yet 🤷♂️ did you fix yours?
@@mardymcdonald2334 yes I fixed mine. Took the pump apart and beadblasted the whole thing. Back together with new o rings. Runs great. Just followed Troy’s videos
Good day.
I have Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI on four winns 2004.
If you can advise for the problem. When I run engine around more than 3500-4000 seems like not enough fuel and stopping. I do reduce, after just run on neutral and can do up to 3500 rpm.
Thanks.
I am betting this is my issue. been fighting it for a while now, last weekend took it out & it wide open it would only go 10mph & rev around 2300 rpm. If I do this & find paint, do i clean it or replace it, & which part do I replace? Thanks
I have a weird sound on my engine, I believe it’s the fuel pump, would love for you to hear it and see what we can do, can I send you the video? How?
Sry, I just realized that there are questions on here. Please send me the video if you like
Ever seen the high pressure pump screen missing Or off to the side. I THINK mine may be off to the side .
Troy
What do you charge to rework the fuel pump system if I send it to you and what is the turn around time? Thanks 5.0 Volvo 2004
Hi Troy, how Di send in my fuel pump for you to remove the paint inside?
why the hell they painted the inside in the first place. gasoline doesnt rust metal.
Is this just 5.7's? I Have a 4.3 GL
I service all Volvo Penta Fuel Pumps built after the year 2000
Hey I have a 2001 Larson Escape with a Volvo Penta 5.0 OSI and it’s having issues that I can’t seem to put my finger on. We have changed fuel filter, wires, plugs, cap, and several other items. Have you seen this before? Does it seem like a fuel pump issue? A fuel pressure test was done but it wasn’t acting up at the time with Mechanic. th-cam.com/video/gCnvksaL9lo/w-d-xo.html
Turn volume up and you can hear what it’s doing. The video is trying to show the RPMs going up and down but other gauges are not having issues.
Contact info so I can send you my pump for rebuild
