Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else has got this problem in their Jazz? Whenever I reverse into my garage and brake, I hear this sloshing sound in the car. It sounds like as if the fuel is sloshing around in the tank.
Thanks

definately from the fuel tank. u'll hear the 'sloshing' sound when ur tanks is 3/4 - full tank.

why can u hear it? because the tank is right under ur front seats :)

Also the reverb from the enclosed space amplifies the noise.
