[DML] Re: Fuel Accumulator

["denverdelorean" <denverdelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did pull the pump out and it ran with no noise.  The sound still 
emitted from the tranny tunnel area.  I think it has to be something 
around the accumulator.  The hoses cant collapse because I put  
stainless steel springs in each one to prevent that.  I got the pump 
from DMCH so I am pretty sure it has the right number of holes.  It 
looked the same when I switched em.  

Side note...   The car ran perfectly this morning with no sound but 
the gentle buzz from the spinning pump and the engine purr.  It must 
be only after the car has run for a while.  And I mean longer that 
20 minutes. or even a couple of hours.
