[QUOTE=Duke2.6;4305103]The fuel accumulator is an often overlooked component, but it can be changed without draining the fuel tank.

If you want the details including a simple on-the-car test and a FA destructive failure analysis, search for thread started by me, Duke2.6. There aren't many.

You can use a vacuum pump to determine if the removed FA is actually defective.

I read what you said about using a Mighty Vac to check the Fuel Accumulator

Do not understand why it requires vacuum to perform the test? It seems that fuel entered the clear tube when the car was cranked.

Does there need to be vacuum of will a clear tube alone work?
