Hi,does anybody else have a problem with hearing their fuel tank sloshing about when braking ?

IIRC this was mentioned on here a few years ago as happening when the tank is about 3/4 full due to there not being any/enough baffles in the tank.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

There is another cause for 'sloshing' sounds when braking - check the lower door seals, especially on the rear doors. The drain holes in the lower seal can block, resulting in a surprising amount of water being trapped in the doors. Gently run fingers along and between the seal lips and see if this is the case.

Welcome to the forum. 

 

 

as warrior says Check your rear door seals ,pull em from bottom of door ,its usually that you can hear sloshing about ,they do hold a good amount of water if blocked ,i thought it was my fuel tank too ,if it is the doors give them a good wash and clean underneath too .

Just checked rear door,there was a substantial amount of water in it,could hear it sloshing about when I opened door,drained it off,thanks 

That brought back some funny memories.

When I was 19 I used to get a lift home from work from someone with an old Metro. Their fuel gauge never worked so they used to listen for fuel sloshing when they pulled up at traffic lights.

If it didn't slosh they needed to get petrol . 👍
