Loud Knock sound in gas tank ONLY when engine off (15mins after engine off)
hey there so other day i was sitting in my car messing with a new cd deck and heard a loud knock sound in the rear of my car, sounded like from the gas tank but i could be wrong. Now i notice that it happens quite a bit. It only happens with the car is off and never right when turned off. i usually here the first "knock" around 20-30mins after engine off. it doesnt "knock knock knock knock" its just like a loud one time sound. you cant hear it outside of the car only inside. i dont have any engine problems other than my faulty fuel injector but i doubt that is from a "knocking" in my gas tank.... or ? thanks for input all.

Will it do it with the fuel cap off?
