Default Trying to fing Fuel Pressure Accumulator...

I'm lost.. I can't find it.. Looking on a '88 200 and a '90 100.. According to a Haynes manual.. it would be underbody near the fuel tank.. but it's not.. (possibly on earlier models?)

Closest thing I have found is named in the manual under later model review as a Diapragm pressure accumulator... That thing is tucked tightly between the fuel distributor and car body.

I've followed all the fuel lines as far as I can see.. I'm going to swap them since the 100 is a wreck.. and the 200 needs it. I just want to make sure I know exactly where it is..

Any help appreciated..
Pics would be choice :P

Cheers buddies

on my 875ktq, the only way to really get a good look at it is by dropping the skid plate that covers part of the fuel lines, accumulator and the gas tank. You'll see two lines running into it, should be a dark green in color, but considering the age, maybe a nice rust brown color

Default Tips on Removal?

I found it.. thanks fellas. Now I hope to remove two. Any tips? Advice to keep me from getting wrecked?

I know so much as to disconnect the battery and release the fuel pressure... Other than that.. all I have to go by is about.. 100 words in a ****ty manual.

Cheers guys.

(I typed fing not find up there.. ha)
