omg what is this noise?!
i have a really loud howl coming from my fuel filler area. Anyone know what this might be? Fuel pump? It definitely sounds like some sort of bearing noise. It happens only when I'm stopped as far as I can tell. I can't really hear it when driving.

after listening more carefully, it's actually a sucking sound.

Try filling your car up with gas. Did the noise go away? Then it's the fuel pump. The pump is in the tank and is noisy and hot when the gas is low. The gas in the tank helps to cool the pump as well as keep it quiet. When the tank gets low you can hear it wine.
You should hear a Walbro 255LPH when the tank gets low, it's retarded sounding. (thats a high performance fuel pump for high hp cars 400+) |

I just got used to it. Although I think mine has to do with a part that warms up the exhaust system,I cant remember exactly what. It goes away as the car warms up after about 5 minutes or so and stays off as long as the car is warm.

There is a post on pelicanparts that suggests that it may be a leaking bleeder valve on the fuel filler (#12 in the pic)

is this the weezing sound that comes when you get on the throttle from a slow start or standing start? I've noticed that lately, I've been very bad about not letting my gas tank go below 1/4.
THe sound drives me nuts but I like the feel of the car when its light on fuel. No kidding. |

mine isn't coming from the gas cap area at all. Its coming from behind me near the the air intake. Same deal when I blip the throttle, weeze....
