  • Fuel pump accumulator
    Patent number: 5257606
    Abstract: An accumulator includes a tubular housing mounted directly on a pump housing so that the accumulator chamber is located in near proximity to the pump chamber. The accumulator chamber may be defined partly by a check valve that isolates the pump from pressure surges while they are being damped by the accumulator. In a preferred arrangement, the accumulator housing has a threaded connection to the pump housing.
