Gurgling from fuel tank when fuel cap is removed?

Featured Replies

Hi,

When I remove the fuel cap on my car to refuel it, I can hear some gurgling sound coming from the fuel tank. Is that normal? or is there something wrong with the ventilation in the tank?

Thanks!

I sometimes get the same if I run the car until fuel level is low - less than 5 litres.

Well, I regularly fill up with more than 50 litres into the 55ltr tank.  The most I have put in is 53.2 .  I have never let the readout show the range remaining as less than 25 miles.

That sound is Golum in your tank - he's being hungry that's all.

I usually run the car until the fuel level is about 10 litres so I guess it's normal.
