Volvo Penta Gasket 856030

Volvo Penta 856030 is a genuine gasket used in the fuel system on older Volvo Penta gasoline marine engines. Current references identify 856030 as a gasket in Fuel System: B, and multiple current cross-references connect it specifically to the fuel pump gasket application. Current references also show 835087 as the replaced or cross-referenced earlier number for this same gasket family.

Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta gasket, part number 856030.
• Used in Volvo Penta Fuel System: B applications.
• Commonly identified in current references as a fuel pump gasket.
• Current cross-references show 835087 as the replaced or alternate legacy number tied to 856030.

Engine Compatibility
Current references show Volvo Penta 856030 used on a broad range of older gasoline applications. Public fitment references currently connect it with engines and packages including 740B, 500A, 501A, 501B, along with older AQ-series applications. A current AQ211A maintenance listing identifies 856030 specifically as a fuel pump gasket. Because this is an older fuel-system part used across multiple gasoline families, fitment should be confirmed by exact engine model, fuel pump arrangement, and serial number before ordering.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Fuel-system gaskets can vary by engine family, pump style, and production range. Confirm Volvo Penta 856030 by engine serial number and by matching the existing fuel pump and gasket pattern before ordering. Volvo Penta continues to list 856030 as a genuine gasket in its parts catalog.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this gasket whenever the fuel pump is removed or serviced, or when there are signs of fuel seepage, gasket hardening, compression set, cracking, or deterioration around the pump mounting surface. On older gasoline engines, fuel pump gaskets are standard service items during pump replacement or resealing work. This replacement guidance follows directly from the part’s current identification as a fuel pump gasket in Fuel System: B applications.

Installation Notes
Install on clean, flat mating surfaces and compare the new gasket directly to the existing fuel pump flange pattern before assembly. Because current references tie 856030 to older AQ-family fuel-system layouts, verifying the pump style and mounting face is the safest checkpoint before final installation. Even torque and clean sealing surfaces are important for reliable fuel-system sealing.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current references show Volvo Penta 835087 as the replaced or alternate number associated with 856030. Current reviewed sources consistently present 856030 as the active ordering number in this gasket application family.

Parts Desk Insight
For older Volvo Penta fuel-system parts, the best checkpoint is usually the actual fuel pump mounting pattern rather than engine name alone. This gasket is small, but it plays an important role in keeping the pump mounting surface sealed and the fuel system clean and dependable. When servicing an older mechanical fuel pump, replacing the gasket at the same time is the right move even if the original still looks usable.
