Most Volvo Banjo fittings are M14 X 1.5 X 26 , This is typical for 90% of Volvo's but you should double check if you can with your part number

Forgot to mention about $70 each from Volvo and about $8 from on line https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/573...1-5x26-968179/

Dont forget to get new copper washers with the bolts,

Actually Steve, the banjo bolt #968179 which you say costs $70 from Volvo is available from Volvo Penta dealer Marine Parts Express under two different part numbers for considerably less:

-VP 2003 parts book number - #969299- $8.92
-VP number - #968179 - $11.71

I know some VP parts are expensive, but really.......

Actually D,

I was using the posts part number as supplied in his original post as 840317 price was from major US supplier as (copied and pasted)

840317 Volvo Penta $71.71 $68.84

Add to Cart

So perhaps it's a whole assembly but thats the price for the part number 840317

i WAS NOT referring to the banjo part number which i supplied for reference only as to the normal size of Volvo Banjo bolts

Sorry Steve,

I must have misunderstood you.....the way I read your post was that what cost $70 from Volvo could be found on line for $8.

Vtomanov,

It turns out that fuel hose #840317 uses banjo bolt #869299, and this banjo bolt is 12mm diameter X 1.5 thread X 24 mm long.

You can make your own banjo bolts for next to nothing. Get the right size bolt from the hardware store (maybe fifty cents) and grind about a quarter of the threads off one side so it's looks kind of like a "D" from the end. The screw doesn't lose much strength and won't break off like the hollow ones do. All the banjos on my previous boat were like that. I don't think they were factory original but they worked just fine. And in over ten years I never broke one. Can't say that about the hollow ones I've had.

My problem was actually the broken/leaking out hose with the banjo... and was trying to get a replacement from a reasonable priced shop - volvo asks for the out hose with the banjo nearly £200 ! in the end I got frustrated - took the pipe out with a cutter put a normal fuel hose with a clamp on the original banjo and voala - all is good now including I put a tap/valve on the other side of the hose as when working on the engine I do not have tap/valve to close on the return and I need to discover a solution on the fly to stop diesel pouring under the engine

btw the return fuel line bolt is 14 but need a wrench 18 for some reason the other bolts need wrench 17 ....

Sounds like you should look at Choose Schematics - Marine Parts Express

Good site with schematics and reasonable pricing as your 200 pound part is listed @$70,

Just an observation re making your own Banjo bolts be careful here as many engines require a certain amount of diesel to return to the tank and if the flow rate rate of the "home made" banjo dosent match then problems can arise,

I recently had a interesting problem when a Volvo Md31 (61 HP) refused to run up to full RPM under load and was misfiring at no load in the higher RPM, a long long story short: some one had replaced the Banjo bolt on the fuel injector pump with a conventional Banjo (the correct one has a restriction orifice) so the injector pump was not getting the correct amount of pre pressure/quantity of fuel,

So as above be careful with Banjo bolts they may not be so simple


Cheers Steve

I wanted to replace the Banjo itself ( not the bolts) in the end I reused the original Banjo e.g. no changes

Thanks for the schematics link ! very useful !

[vtomanov]

the actual part that I hanged is :

Volvo Penta FUEL HOSE 840883 - Marine Parts Express

nearly $200 also... if produced from juts Banjo and hose about $5...
