Accumulator Problems

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

After reading the accumulator FAQ, I understand what it's function 
is, and how it works. But my question is, what can cause an 
accumulator to go bad? Is the diaphram inside prone to heat damage? 
And if so, at what temperature? Right now were having hot start 
problems, but the accumulator is supposed to be new. The fuel in the 
gas tank is getting hot enough in traffic to cause the pick up hose 
to collapse, so when fuel gets this hot, is it possible for it to 
damage the accumulator as it goes through it? I have several repair 
options here, but a couple of answers could greatly help me decide in 
which direction to go. Thanks in advance again!
