Re: [DML] Fuel Accumulator

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes you can hear the accumulator make a noise a while AFTER you 
turn the car off as it de-compresses. You may also hear this if you 
power up the fuel pump, cold-start, without the starter running. 

It sounds like thumping a beer can. Any "running" noise you hear has 
to be the fuel pump noise being carried thru the system.
