Detailed Description

Sparta PN3181 is distributed by Delphi, an OE fuel system supplier, and is aimed at higher-mileage and earlier-model vehicles that need a direct replacement fuel delivery component. This fuel pump module assembly is built for in-tank installation and uses a plastic housing, blade terminals, and a quick-connect outlet layout for service on confirmed Volvo applications. It is a Sparta PN3181 fuel pump module assembly for 1998-2004 Volvo C70, 1998-2000 Volvo S70, and 1998-2000 Volvo V70.

This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps (e.g., E8379M, E8643) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Engine stalling from inconsistent pump output
• Low fuel pressure conditions in gasoline systems
• Fuel starvation under load
• Noisy or failing in-tank pump operation

Installation Notes and Quality

Install this module in the fuel tank and verify connector shape, outlet style, and pressure requirements before replacement. This assembly does not include a fuel sending unit, regulator, mounting hardware, gasket or seal, lock ring, or wire harness. Sparta is backed by Delphi’s OE fuel system expertise, with product coverage focused on fit and performance for older, higher-mileage vehicles.
