Name this Fuel Pump Sound
I just fueled up after a 270 mile trip. Drive into my garage, turn off the car and put it back to ACC, and starting hearing this sound... Now I've heard it in the past, but it just doesn't sound healthy at all...

pop open your gas tank access panel and see whats up with it. its not that hard. sounds like you'll be needing a new fuel pump. also is it bubbling sound or a banging sound? listened to it 4 times and still not sure.

Hmm Sounds pretty odd.

Maybe the fuel sock is covered in silt and crap to the point its just sucked it through the sock and crapped itself?

Something might be loose then and/orfloating to the top of the tank. When the fuel pump is turned on it might be loose too, causing stuff to move around and bang against the tank... Seems like a long shot. =/
