Last night, with just under half a tank of oil/diesel, following a short drive to the recycle bins, I removed the fuel cap and heard the fuel gurgling down the pipe as if I'd just poured a load in. Anyone diagnose why that happened?
Second question. Are turbo's providing boost pressure when cruising at a constant speed (at, say, 3Krpm)?
Tank gurgled

Re: Tank gurgled
Excess fuel is sent back to the tank via a return line so i wouldnt be concerned with gurgling, diesel tanks are always noisy more so when they have veg in them.MikeT wrote:Last night, with just under half a tank of oil/diesel, following a short drive to the recycle bins, I removed the fuel cap and heard the fuel gurgling down the pipe as if I'd just poured a load in.

The turbo wont be producing any pressure unless it is underload so cruising on a flat bit of road at 3k isnt going to be boosting enough to feel, up hill may be different though.

I used to have a nissan sunny that always hissed when I opened the fuel tank for filling. My dad dismissed my fears telling me it was just a vacume because the fuel pump has been sucking or something.
I was probably owrried it was petrol fumes leaking or something.
