Hello,

The fuel accumulator also known as the fuel pressure regulator is located with the fuel pump assembly under the vehicle near the drive shaft (see diagram below).

The main function of the fuel accumulator is to maintain pressure in the fuel system for a specified period of time after the engine has been switched (off) in order to aid hot engine restarts.

I have attached the replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
