SV: Fuel Pressure Accumulator?

["Roland Johansson" <scirocco@mail.bip.net>]

Wrong! The fuel pressure accumulator is behind the tank under
the car, and is suppuosed to maintain fuel pressure for half an
hour or hour when you turn off pump. 

Mounted to the block is the control pressure thing, changing the
control pressure to give richer fuel/air ratio during coldstart
and if you have the control pressure thing with a vaccum port on
lean it out during crusing for good fuel economy
