Gas Tank problem? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

acarr · 08-07-2009, 04:30 PM

I picked up my car yesterday, Is it normal to hear the gas bounceing around in the tank? I called the dealer and of course they had no clue. So, could someboby please go out to there car and bounce it around a little and see if you can hear the gas sloushing from side to side. I have about three quarters of a tank or so. Thanks

I haven't noticed it, however it hard to hear over a roaring engine and blasting stereo. Next time I take it out I'll try to behave myself and turn the radio off and listen...

This was posted about before and yes it seems to be "normal" for the Camaro.

l99 nerver heard gas in tank either at near empty or full

Hmmm, Thanks Camarossrs2150, shiftz33 I did a search and didnt find anything, I met another person with a Camero who was nice enough to rock the back end of his. No sloushing, rocked mine sloushing. Dealer is clueless if something is wrong or not. I guess until they figure out what they are doing I'll keep the radio going. Thanks for the reply's

On full or empty I haven't heard a thing either.

I have not heard the gas sploshing around.

Scott@Bjorn3D · 08-10-2009, 08:14 PM

Could be water in the AC unit, are you sure it is coming from the back and not down by your feet?

coolman · 08-10-2009, 08:30 PM

I don't go out and shake my car that often. What does that do ,wake it up? All kidding aside, is it while your driving that you hear this?

O2BQIK · 08-10-2009, 08:48 PM

Never heard any sloshing, and I do drive without the stereo sometimes. LS3 M6 here.

Mine only makes the noise when the fuel tank is between 3/8 and 3/4 full. I've confirmed my A/C drain is functional and the "noise" comes from the fuel tank.
