The fuel accumulator has a ruptured diaphragm. The problem with replacing it is there are no Bosch replacements available. There are Volvo variants that I'm hoping will work as I have one in my hand from FCP Euro Bosch part number 0438170007. It might have a smaller diameter or the fuel line fitting threads may be different. About $100 in stock with fast shipping.
It's not a pleasant location for repairs if you don't have a lift. In fact, it's downright dangerous if you don't have the fuel drained from the tank. That's just an old man talking.....because I had the scare of my life when we got an 8V started that had been sitting for 5 years, and then I smelled fuel after I heard a pop, and then there was a gallon of raw fuel on the garage floor pouring out of the overflow tube on the accumulator.
