Larry - I'm not sure that a fuel pressure test is going to comfirm a faulty accumulator. See what Benzmac had to say in the following thread:

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=25013&highlight=accumulator

In my case, there's a small 5.5mm hose that goes from the accumulator to an elbow on the primary fuel line. My fuel pump is a single pump unit; yours may be a dual arrangement, but you may still have this 5.5mm hose. Part number in my case was 126 470 40 75. Was only able to find it at the dealership. I experimented with all sorts of FI pressure-rated fuel line in this approx. size and felt uncomfortable with the fit. I have a special tool(Lisle) that I use for removing hoses w/o damaging them. Beware of this bugger. You won't find it at MacParts at 10pm.
