why do you recommend replacing the accumulator? If I know its holding 3bar pressure overnight, then it should be ok right?

I think this is what I will do:
1) Replace fuel filter
2) 2 gallons of Evapo-rust from Kragen/O'Reilly parts.... (the rust particles will only be at the bottom so I shouldn't need more than 2gal.)
3) Let it sit for 4-8hrs. Drain out.
4) Flush out with 5 gallons water until it comes out clean.
5) Flush out using 5 gallons gas until clean to double check. Fill up with new gas
6) Add 3-4 bottles ISO-Heet to make sure any residual water is taken care of.
7) Disconnect main fuel line to distributor, turn on pumps and keep flowing fuel until any residual left in the system is removed, AND to ensure its coming out clean this end.
8) Install new distributor. (comes tomorrow!)
