My Chim has a constant buzzing coming from somewhere near the petrol tank. Is this the fuel pump stuck on or something? Its a slightly different buzz to the initial one you get when you first turn the key. Any ideas you good people? Thanks a lot.

Happens on mine for a couple of seconds when it is hot, almost always after i fire her up after stopping for some fuel etc. I don' think it is anything to worry about as it has been happening for over a year.

Ah, that could be it, as the dial was showing just under a quarter of a tank which is the lowest its ever been i think. I'll fill it up when I get home and see if that cures it.
Thanks!

started the same thread here, and have concluded that it is probably nothing to worry about. Will try to get a second opinion though if I can.
