Hey all, got an odd problem I recently started noticing.
When I first fire up the car I will sometimes hear a gurgling/rumbling sound coming from the fuel tank. I first heard it after I had the car parked on a steep driveway with a low level of gas in the tank. I simply thought the pump was starving as the noise stopped once I backed the car out. However I've recently started noticing it doing the same thing with a full tank on a slight incline. Any ideas? Is the fuel pump dying or getting close to dying?
The car runs great. Hasn't lost any power all the way to red line, fires right up and runs smooth, even when I hear the noise. Pretty sure the pump is original with about 130k miles on it.
