Bump: Ok. How about the MKI tank?

ETKA does have pictures of the layout. I know some people are able to save the images as jpegs or gifs or whatever. I can't figure it out for the life of me!!!!

Thanks Dan. Good description.
I like Pics so I can "see" what I am doing before I get under the car. This way I can plan the removal etc.
I want to replace all the rubber from front to back and treat any rust I find. Replacing the accumulator is one part. That thing is 25 years old and rusted. I have NO idea what I am going to find once the stuff is down and out!
If the car is in this many pieces, I might as well do as much as possible so I dont have the same sort of problem I had at Cincy last year :)

>The purpose of the accumulator is to damp out pump pulses as Julie mentioned, but also to keep pressure on the system to prevent vapor lock and probably also assure there is fuel in the system at the metering unit when you attempt to start it the next time.
