I can here this on my GTD, had no idea what it was at first then realised it was the fuel. Bit annoying tbh

Yes agree with you, wonder if its just the GTD coz the diesel is heavy  :grin:

I actually only notice it when I've filled the car full, after a few miles it seems to disappear...

Its probably a breather pipe or filler pipe with fuel in as you filled it to the brim. Im due to fill mine in the next day or so so i will listen out for this noise.

I get this. Is it a whistling noise, like a noisy pump? I'm taking mine in to the dealer tomorrow.

Did you fix it?
