When I brake a can hear a lot of liquid slushing around. I've never noticed this before on any Car but I guess I've not had a full tank very often.


I hope this is normal?

Cheers

Perfectly normal mate, because the tank is under the front seats the sloshing is more noticeable

Can't say I've ever noticed it before but I know many other people have.

Normal... I can only every hear mine sloshing around when its over 3/4 full

 

[parsco]

As all above, only really noisy when full though

 

[michael3011]

try to check that the doors aren;t full of water..that was mine!

 

[cookci]

Lol that's makes sense now! So is that why the boot is so big? There is no spare tyre right?

Doors full of water?!

 

[michael3011]

yeah - check the bungs in the bottom of the door - ensure they are free of water!

No wonder i can never hear mine... I never have more than half a tank because i love to make sure my car is always light so its fast...

not really i'm just always skint hahahaha

It will be the doors as michael says, there is 3 bungs in the bottom of each that get blocked up and they start retaining water, just remove them completely and be prepared for a good pint of water to come out

I've never once heard the petrol in my tank but my doors were full of water once and I could hear that clear as day

 

[cookci]

So remove the doors "bungs" and throw them in the bin?

cheers

Bit extreme but it will rule out if its the doors or not!

 

[cookci]

HAHA i missed out the word "bungs"! LOL

 

[C.B]

I just threw mine you can get new ones but it will only happen again

Go try it now you wont believe how much water comes out

depends on the age of the car (only upto 07 models i think) but the bungs at the base of the boors can get bunged up and stop water flowing out. just take em out n chuck em, you dont need them, the doors may well be full of water. I've never heard the petrol slosh about in the tank, ever.

 

[owen86]

Yep I get the sloshing noise when nearly full of fuel, nothing to worry about.

 

[Syx]

No bungs in my doors and I do get the sloshing, definitely the fuel tank but again only when full.

 

[Relic]

+1 fuel tank sloshing when full for me too.

 

[cookci]

Couldnt find any bungs in the bottom of the doors! only 3 square holes!!
