It is engineered as a direct replacement for the original equipment pump, matching factory performance so the engine gets the fuel delivery it was designed around. The pump body is constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance in the marine environment, and it uses screw-type connections on both the inlet and outlet fittings for a secure, leak-resistant hookup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 18-7281 pump ships with its mounting gasket included, so there is no need to source a separate gasket for a standard installation. Sierra builds this pump to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment part it replaces, and Sierra supplies OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders with parts to the same standard every day. This makes the 18-7281 a straightforward, drop-in replacement for boaters running a Volvo Penta stern drive on a GM V-8 305 or 350 CID block whose original fuel pump has worn out or failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-7281\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mechanical Marine Fuel Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volvo Penta stern drive, GM V-8 305 and 350 CID engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGasket Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-type connection, 8 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-type connection, 8 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gasket mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGas Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.72 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999322524\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volvo 826493, Volvo 3855276\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo Penta stern drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGM V-8 305 and 350 CID engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo 826493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolvo 3855276\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-7281 fuel pump fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7281 fits Volvo Penta stern drive applications powered by GM V-8 305 and 350 CID engine blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-7281 come with a mounting gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-7281 fuel pump ships with its mounting gasket included, so a separate gasket purchase is not needed for a standard installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part numbers does the 18-7281 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e It replaces Volvo 826493 and Volvo 3855276, so any boat currently running one of those original part numbers can use the Sierra 18-7281 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-7281 pump body made of a corrosion-resistant material?\u003c\/strong\u003e The pump body on the 18-7281 is stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size are the inlet and outlet connections on this fuel pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both the inlet and outlet on the 18-7281 use 8 millimeter screw-type connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-7281 fuel pump weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7281 weighs 1.72 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7281 is a Sierra aftermarket replacement pump engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment fuel pump it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of fuel pump is the 18-7281?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a mechanical fuel pump, gasket-mounted directly to the engine and using screw-type inlet and outlet connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-7281 work with a Mercruiser or OMC drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7281 is specified for Volvo Penta stern drive applications on GM V-8 305 and 350 CID engines;
