Fuel Slosh
I'm not exactly sure this is a "problem" but when I have the radio off and the windows up, I can hear the fuel sloshing around in the tank. It's only at low speeds but you cannot mistake the sound for anything else - and it's kinda loud. I thought that GM had baffles in their gas tanks? Has anyone else noticed this?
I have a very early 2011 LS (number 834) |

Hey guys,
I got a 2010 camaro 2LT RS. I have the exact same problem. To me, it basically happens when im driving it a really really low speed and I step on the brake and the car comes to a stop. I hear a noise on the left side of my car. So, I took it to the dealer and they basically diagnosed it for a couple of hours, and came up with a solution that it's not fixable. It just fuel sloshing around in there when there's a certain amount of fuel in the car usually from 1/4 tank to 3/4 tank. So, anyhow shitty problem but what could we do. Just a heads up to all my camaro buddies out there. |

We never hear it but we have the rubber GM trunk mat that also deadens road noise.

I know I'll come across like a jerk.....but I can't help it:
Seriously?? I've heard it on most every car I've ever owned or driven for an extended period of time. Not an issue......really. I can't believe they actually wasted 2 hours "diagnosing" the problem.

I agree this seems to be an acceptable annoyance. Kind of like hearing the wind with your window down.

My reason for asking about it is more from the standpoint of, "Is there something actually wrong?"
Given all the issues I've seen here on the forum, I think it's a legit question to ask. |

plastic fuel tank and is located just under your trunk. Cheap plastic design mean hearing this. And to the guy who think hes heard this every car you must have ears like a dog. I have never heard it in any other vehicle

Actually, I lost a lot of my high frequency hearing over my 20 years on the flight line in the A.F.
