The 85 505 XN6 have an in tank pump. Check it by running a hose to the
pump outlet into a container, apply 12 volts to the pump for a minute.
Measure how much fuel came out and compare to the spec. You can replace
it with any pump provided it has the same output and can be mounted to
the existing pump bracket assembly. I'd guess you can find one in the
Netherlands.
