Help !!
I have the 700cc ShurFlo accumulator with the nylon body incorporated into my system , ........ this morning it failed! , maybe thats because the recomended max. working pressure is 125psi and I run my system at 150-160 ! .Now I'am lookng for a replacement , but all I'm finding is the little 100cc Aquamist one , anyone know where I can find one of a decent size that can handle about 200psi ?

Yep thats what it is , check out the info about it below . I took a look at it and realized that it was juct a hair line crack about half inch long , I used some epoxy and repaired it , I also put two T bolt clamps on the outside to hold it together , so far so good , no more leaks , I also dropped my system pressure to the recommended 125 psi , hope it holds !
.Water Pump Accumulator Tank
Water Pump Accumulator Tank from Shurflo
Add this compact Shurflo Accumulator Tank to your freshwater system for smooth, steady water flow. Measures a very small 8.9" x 4.06" x 3.6" but helps end annoying water surge. Pressurized built-in diaphragm (instead of just an air pocket at top of tank) cushions surges to assure a smooth flow. Connects to main water distribution line after pump in demand system. Works with pressures up to 125 PSI. Sturdy nylon housing. Easy installation. Mounts in any position (mounting bracket included).
This pre-charged accumulator tank is compatible with hydraulic shut-off valves. The internal bladder keeps air from dissolving into the water. Mounts in any position. Pre-charged pressure is 20 psi; maximum operating pressure is 125 psi. The 1/2" 14 NPT x 2 liquid inlet and outlet ports are interchangeable

"is this some sort of device meant to ease the "pulsation" people were talking about a while ago?"
this is off topic but i want to respond to the "pulsation" thing w regard to AI.
most AI pumps do pulsate and it is true if you were to turn the pump on and watch the delivery it would be sporadic. this is not a problem as the delivery enters the engine generally upstream fro the throttle body.
it mixes thoroughly in the runners.
as the charge travels from the intercooler towards the elbow and is joined by the AI injectant it is propelled by boost and drawn by vacuum. it is moving very fast and powerfully. it streams through the open ports into the rotor housing combustion chamber. then the rotor slams shut and the column hits a wall and bounces back through the manifold. then the process repeats. it is this back and forth within the runners that mixes the injectant so it does not resemble the sporadic pump delivery.
since i inject almost 40% alcohol if there was any nonlinear delivery i could see it in my logs and there is nothing but smooth afrs and egts.
marcel my guy got back to me and unfortunately doesn't use accumulators in his systems but did suggest a bit less pressure and a larger nozzle might be of help...
