Don,
You just performed basic a FA test. The diaphram is
NO GOOD and you need a replacement FA. This is one reason why residual pressure was not holding up. Used fuel accumulators are not that expensive. Rebuilding and replacing a ruptured FA diaphram may sound simple but it's
NOT, unless you could re-seal it properly to withstand 60-70 psi of highly combustible liquid. This is not like rebuilding a WUR or AAR, an accidental leak from a rebuilt FA could cause fire damage on your precious car. I don't say it is not doable, but at this point of time I suggest to stay SAFE. Let the other people make the experiments on their cars first and wait for the results (????). Just my two-cents.
PM me and I'll lend one of my spares to you. Good luck.
Tony
