bwahahahahaha. Pressure started at 18, shot to 75 when the valve was
closed, stabilized at 51, dropped to 18 the second the car was shut off,
and to zero about 15 seconds later.

Given that:

a) the accumulator is < two years old and
b) info garnered from other sources indicates that the pressure will drop
fairly slowly if the fault is in the accumulator

...I see in my future...a fuel pump.

Thanks much.
