No the accumulator is near the pump under the car. Are you lifting the air flow flap with fuel pump running/ fuel pressure to check

By removing the large rubber boot on top of airbox to expose it. Go careful with it, don't slam it about, but when under pressure fuel should flow when its raised. You may have to bridge fuel pump relay and keep ignition on to do this, unless you just want a quick check
