Kiwiokie,
The bottom chamber of a fuel accumulator should not be dry unless you have the two-port fuel accumulator with no bottom drain port used in early CIS. But if you have the three-port FA used in SC's, the bottom chamber would be always wet with fuel. If you don't agree with this, check it yourself. Detach the bottom connection for the fuel accumulator after the FP has ran and fuel would be draining out from the fuel line and FA. A fuel accumulator could be tested and would take only several seconds to confirm whether it is good or bad.
