Re: [DML] Re: Fuel accumulator Test



yeah- listen to David- If you change your accumlator, change those little
rubber hoses too while your down there. 6 hours after my accumulator was
replaced, I was stranded in a parking lot with a gas leak from that little
hose. Not much fun to get under to the accumulator at midnight..
