problems?

External Since: Jun 05, 2006 Posts: 2

I have just recently bought a volvo 740 and when the 1/3 of the gas is
gone, I am having problems starting the car. What could be the problem?
If the weather is hot outside, I have to crank the engine at least
three times before it actually starts.

There's a hose that connects the in tank pump to the fuel delivery pipe
that comes out the top of the sender. If this hose deteriorates, then
this symptom occurs, especially with a bad tank pump.
