[urq] Pressure Accumulator substitution

Yes, they can go bad on the shelf.  The problem is that the pressurized gas
leaks through the membrane over time.  That said, having one unpressurized
on the shelf will last longer than a functional one in a car, where it
should normally be sitting at higher pressure pretty much constantly ...

Ok, maybe this is a stupid question but I have one of these on my shelf, new
in a box...has been sitting for about a year, I'm about to replace it on my
car, but the question is i know these hold some presure, but do they go bad
by just sitting on one's shelf?

Thanks...
