Re: Quick question

You'll here a "knocking" or "Clanking" noise coming from it if it is 
loosing system pressure. That's just the spring and diaphram that is 
inside the accumulator moving as the system is loosing pressure. This 
is what keeps the pressure in the system. If you are hearing that 
noise...your Accumulator may be good and you may have a faulty check 
valve that's on the fuel pump? A fuel leak somewhere? I don't know 
that best way in testing the check valve but I would do this before 
replacing the Accum.
