There is an in-house struggle between BENETEAU and VOLVO due to bad assembling on production line.

I know someone who picked up a brand new 380 last july, on the delivery trip up to Denmark, they couldn't start one of the engines, after a few days. They got serice in Holland, and the technician there told them that he had seen the same problem on at least 10 other boats that month. Apparently it was a defect in the starting relay setup.

I know this should not be your problem, unless there is a fuel solenoid linked up to this relay.

I suggest you contact Vovo in Sweden, and ask if they know of the problem you describe.
