Why is my fuel tank swishing like this?
Just recently after I drive my car, especially for long periods, when it is parked and turned off the fuel seems to swish in the tank. If I start to take the gas cap off, there is a long period of pressure relief and if I put the cap back on and do it again a minute or two later, it releases yet more pressure.
What could be causing this to happen, too hot exhaust, octane,...? I use 92 octane fuel if that provides and assistance and the rest of the cars setup is in my sig. Thanks

I have had 3 F-Body's. 1 didn't do it and the other 2 did. It's no big deal.
