pm sent as well, but wouldnt the cut-off relay stop the PUMP from working (rather than block the line itself)?? not sure if a 760 has a mechanical pump or an electric one..

anyone else able to help?

Just wire the fuel pumps directly from the ignition via a suitable fuse, that will keep the pumps running at all times that the ignition is switched on.

All the best, Peter.

would it be too much for someoien to make a diagram, we dont have a manual and neither have a good volvo mechanical knowledge

Cannot oblige with diagrame,first thing ,find the fuel pump,having found that find the electrical feed,then find a point to take a new feed from or simply take it from the battery,run a new cable between the two through an on/off switch and bobs your uncle.
