gas moving in gas tank ????? (I think)

bboarder711 · 02-18-04, 11:18 AM

oki have noticed this wierd thing usually occures aftger i get a full tank of gas and when if pulled into my garage and like inched in (dont want to hit anything) andd as i brake no matter how hard or soft i herd like some liquid moving back and forth like sloshing around some where behind me or under the rear seats.
im gueseing this is my gas tank and the gas moving around is this good, bad soundthing i should worry bout, design flaw or some other tank.

and if u want to try it ur self go to a quiet place and inch around and listen carfully maybe we all have this

turn your heater off, i mean turn the temp all the way to the cold side, and see if it still happens

It’s amazing how much that back seat actually insulates against road noise. I made a 100 mile round trip with it out and it was all I could stand.

Yeah as long as you don't hear a solid thunk thunk coming from your gas tank, I think you should be fine.

ChrisV · 02-19-04, 01:04 AM

Yeah, I hear that from time to time too. It seems to be normal.

some of you guys need to relax, its a car and its going to make noises...but ya, surprising as it may seem, or not surprising to others, your gas does move around in the tank, just like water in a jar when you shake it.
