Fuel line accumulator question
This may be a dumb question, but here goes... On my '93, I have an accumulator located on the fuel line closest to the firewall (going to fuel rail of course). It looks like a fuel pressure regulator - is it? My service manual says nothing about this fuel line component. :mad
I'm planning on going to a LT4 top end. Is it safe to remove this in line accumulator and utilize the one on the new fuel rail (LT4 style) or should I leave it in line as it is? Thanks!

Re: Fuel line accumulator question (ittlfly)
The accumulator is supposed to absorbe some of the fuel line vibrations / pulsing.

Re: Fuel line accumulator question (cprgmr)
I would like to see what it looks like and where it's at because I had one on mine but it looked homemade and I removed it. At least I think that's what it was for. It should be on the return line.

Re: Fuel line accumulator question (Strick)
Are you going to do a complete top end upgrade? Whose doing it and how much?
- New LT4 Intake (LT4 fuel rails, SVO 30lb/hr injectors, AFPR)
- New LT4 Heads (both intake and heads getting stage III job by CNC Heads)
- CC Custom cam
- CC hardened pushrods
- CC lifters
- CC Pro-mag roller rockers (1.6)
- AS&M Throttle body (haven't decided between 52/54/58mm yet)
- Meziere electric H20 pump
- TPiS long tubes
- Dr Gas X-Pipe
- Moroso kick-out oil pan
- ARP fasteners throughout
- FelPro gaskets throughout
The cost for just the heads and intake (plus getting them ported) alone is going to be $3,600.00. :eek: If I wasn't so **** about wanting the LT4 top end, it would be considerably less. :rolleyes:
I'm going to do all the work myself. :)
