Re: Mystery fuel tank/accumulator.
I think that's the original fuel filter.
Re: Mystery fuel tank/accumulator.
That's what I thought, then I cut into it and it's an empty chamber/tank.
Re: Mystery fuel tank/accumulator.
If it's empty, it's not a filter. Does your car have the carbon filled fuel vapor accumulator?

No idea, but I found it it on pelican parts, it's an expansion unit.

Re: Mystery fuel tank/accumulator.
Was there a diaphram inside, or just empty?
