Sagaris petrol tank noise

[paul1962]

Hi All,

For a while now I've noticed a thumping/banging noise coming from the petrol tank after I've used my Sag.
If I open the fuel cap there is a huge rush of air and the noise stops.

Is there a vent or breather somewhere that might be blocked ? If there is does anyone know where it is ?

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. As it seems to be case of "they all do that" I'll ignore it.

Sounds like the problem that I had. Mine was due to a full carbon canister. I replaced it with a fresh one and the banging has gone. Ford Focus Mk1 1998->2004 Ford Part number 1S4X9D653AA, 1S4X-9D655-AB

That might make sense as it seems to have got worse over the past few years.

Where is it mounted and is it easy to change ?

Hi tofts,

Thanks for the info.

If it can be removed I'll probably go down that route but as I'm a complete numpty at this stuff I'll get someone else to do it for me.

Thanks
Paul
