When you did the metering unit did you hone the cast faces flat and to a polish and did you smear a very thin film of Loctite on each face? If not you get leakage across the ports.
Another common issue is the tank rusting from the inside.
Was the car you got the one that went to auction with 20000mls a few months back?

Hi Dougie68, Many thanks also for your valuable input.
When we ordered the fuel distributor kit it came with 1200 grit sandpaper but no sealant. We used the sandpaper to surface the faces. We had some of the non sealing sealant on the self here which was a similar type recommended with the kit. Once I can get back on to the car and get some higher fuel pressure through I am expecting some leakage at the injectors!
As yet I haven't been able to get back onto the Volvo due to an unforeseen illness which has left me home bound since the weekend but recovering slowly.
No, this wasn't the one that was at auction, or at least I don't think so, bought it in October and it has 127,000 mls on it. It is LHD model.
