accumulator nose?

get the back seat out of the car (2 screws Phillips) and pop the cover from
the in-tank pump, start your car, you should clearly hear if the tapping is
coming from the in-tank pump . if not, could be something else.

=>Do either of the fuel pumps have a spring mechanism like the accumulator?
=>I hear tapping for 5-10 secs after cold start.  Taping noise
=>sounds like a spring echo during each tap.  No springs in the
=>vincinity right, just the $120 pos can?
=>When the accumulator starts to fail does the spring bounce around
=>the canister when the fuel pressure rises,and/or the diaphram is
=>bad?  the noise is loud enough to hear inside the car. Ever see a
=>beer can explode?
=>
=>thanks for any help
