Hi there. I usually lurk but here is some advice:

The accumulator is only one of a series of devices that maintain rest 
pressure in the fuel system. Maintaining liquid fuel under pressure 
in the system raises the vapor pressure of the fuel and prevents 
common hot start problems. 

If you're forced to ventilate the engine bay to get a hot start after 
changing your accumulator you still have a problem either with rest 
pressure or an unrelated hot start issue. I suggest you measure the 
rest pressure to verify it remains within the specs and time noted in 
the manual. 

As long as rest pressure is maintained there is no typical heat soak 
condition that should cause fuel vaporization and prevent a hot 
start.
