[C320-list] fresh water pump

[Bill Lowe]

 What exactly is an accumulator tank, how large is it, and how does it improve the system?


Thanks
Bill

Om my MK II the fresh water pump is mounted in the rear compartment of the 
port settee.  I mounted the accumulator tank in the same compartment.  I 
tee'd it off the output line from the pump in a way that let the tubing sit 
well without too sharp a curve at any spot.  I was going to mount it in the 
port lazarette near the stern shower but my research pointed to it best next 
to the pump.
