2019 Volvo S60 - Fuel Pressure Sensor Questions

Has anyone replaced a fuel pressure sensor on an SPA Volvo yet? I have a few questions regarding the replacement of mine, and was hoping someone could help.

My S60 has about 51k miles on it now, and when it sits for 3+ hours, it sometimes takes longer to start. It cranks fine, but on a healthy start it maybe cranks 2 times before it fires. Other times it can take up to 8-9 cranks before it finally runs under its own power. I do not have any engine codes or lights at the present.

I’m suspicious of the fuel pressure sensor, because when I jump in the car and hold the start switch to power position II to force the fuel pump to prime, I can then start it with just 2-3 cranks every time I do this. My plan is to replace the fuel pressure sensor, and the fuel filter while I’m at it just for the peace of mind.

I looked at fuel pressure sensors on RockAuto, but their parts list suggests there is a “Fuel Injector Pressure Sensor” for $103, or they’ve listed a “Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor” for $64. I cross referenced other parts websites and diagrams, but I only see a Fuel Pressure Sensor in the engine bay. Nowhere else do I see any suggestions of a pressure sensor in the fuel tank. The parts on RockAuto look the same, with the only real different appearing to be the brand (VEMO vs GPD).

Does RockAuto simply have the parts listed incorrectly? And does anyone happen to have a better alternative brand for a replacement?
