Slight miss/hesitation and odd noise once switched off

(1/2) > >>

Soundlab:
OK, had bit of strange one today.

Car was slightly hesitant on the way home work tonight...felt like it was missing slightly at low revs in 4th (at a fraction under 30mph).

Got home, let the car idle for a minute and then switched off.  As I walked around the car I could hear a strange noise.  It was most noticeable on the drivers side of the car...as I stooped down by the petrol cap I could hear a "glugging" or "dripping" sound coming from what seemed to be the petrol tank area.

Is this likely to be a bit of trapped air ?  I fuelled up late yesterday and hadn't had this problem until today (damn BP cr*ppy petrol !).

Any thoughts ?

You do realize, Stealth wolf will not sleep tonight now and will be under his car as i post this.  :laugh:
I think you just thought it was to do with the juice, so you heard something in that area, that you would not normally be know where near. 

Phil Mcavity:
I have heard this before something to do with pressure realise valve back to the fuel tank. Sounds like a glugging sound more then anything.I wouldn't worry Soundlab, sounds like the same thing.

Phil Mcavity:
Slight miss/hesitatation would be something else. Is your Car Remapped or stock?

Soundlab:
It's completely stock.

It was audible enough that I managed to get a recording on to my phone of it ! lol !

Just seems a bit odd that the car was quite hesitant and then I had this noise 10 mins later.  I wouldn't be surprised if the hesitation is BP fuel related, my Skyline didn't like that stuff at all.  I only put the BP in as it was on the route home...
