Fuel Accumulator

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

Surge arrestor, yeah.  I don't know where they get that.  Its' purpose is
actually to save like 20-25lbs of pressure in the system so that the vehicle
will start quickly.  This is only an issue when it is warm, like now.
However, leaking is never good.  All it is is a rubber diaphragm with a
spring against it in that housing.  The rubber lets go, and voila,
leaky-leaky.

The one they show is for a Fox.  They're pretty cool, it goes between the
pump and the filter in a hanging cage gizmo.  Gordy has read or heard
somewhere that guys have taken them out of the loop entirely.  Might have
been here or on Vortex.  I have often wanted to ditch mine, but what to do
with the different fittings I don't know.  I know the Bentley says it's used
for anti-surge purposes.   The early cars had an actual anti-surge valve or
something('75-'79).

Other than pulling the screw from the back of the accumulator to see if it
leaks I don't know.

Good luck,
