2006 V70 Fuel Pump Location Help

[mikevillena]

Hello. I'm having issues figuring out where the fuel pump is located on my 2006 V70 estate (US model) (VIN XXXXXXXX62598293) Manufacture Date 05/06. I've checked multiple places, sources, vendors, etc. and watched countless videos but I am unable to find the fuel pump and the correct fuel pump to order. In the first photo, I've removed the cover on the rear passenger side (US model). The cover was held down by four 10mm nuts. That revealed what might be a pump that's secured by a lock ring. However, there are no fuel lines leading up to the "pump" except for some leads. Additionally, the locking ring is vastly different from what I've seen online. The second photo shows the area underneath the cover on the driver's side. There is nothing visible that would suggest a level gauge let alone access to anything. The final photo is a view of the rear passenger area with the seat backs and sound deadening removed. It was taken from the rear passenger side. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Looks as if you have the steel tank . The fitment of the pump is different to the plastic type tanks .
You do not need the special "ring-type" wrench just a suitable drift to punch the lock-ring open .
The important thing is to index everything before removal to be sure it goes back in the same place . Also mark the lock-ring before so that you don`t over-tighten when re-fitting .
Clean the top thoroughly before-hand to prevent dirt contamination .
Undo the lock-ring gently and slowly without forcing anything and it will come .

There is a good write-up on the swedespeed forum which i tried to copy and paste but the security prevented it. You may find it yourself .

I think the steel tanks have the PEM mounted on top of the tank under the car .
There they are very likely to suffer from corrosion . There is a mod and it is a good idea to move them next to the spare wheel .

Can`t help with identifying the correct pump but if you search for steel tank type...
