can hear gas swishing around in fuel tank
I was wondering if anyone else with a HB could hear the gas swish around their fuel tank after they filled up at the pump? I especially hear it during shifts.

put it this way...it's 11 gallons of fluid swishing around in a thin steel tank like three feet behind you...it's perfectly normal to hear it if you try.

Actually the tank is mad out of plastic on our cars. Makes it extra durable incase of fire. Designed to melt and extinguise any nearby flames.

I hear it too. Try driving a Cobalt; it sounds like you're driving with a water cooler in your back seat.
