Still having a fuel system problem...

Hello again, I posted last weekend about having a humming sound and
stalling. Upon closer inspection while the car was making the sound I had
the access cover off of fuel sender/internal pump. By way of feeling
vibrations I could tell the humming was coming from outside the tank and not
inside. So I replaced the main fuel pump. Then the next day heard no
humming but the car did stall a couple times when pulling up to a light.
There was no indication prior to the stall either, no irradic idle or noise
just dead. Today it started doing the humming again so I climbed under the
car to see if I could more accurately determine the source. It seems to me
that the accumulator is the source of the humming sound. Before dishing out
more money on parts that I don't need to replace, what might cause this
humming? Is it a bad accumulator or something else affecting it. How about
a dirty fuel filter, going to replace that this week anyway. Any
suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
