Gday to all.
I have been lurking for a while but just registered. I have an 04 V6 auto GXL and have been hearing an intermittent noise in the rear for a few months. It seemed to be coming from the LHSide but would come and go. I have just returned from a trip to Fraser and have come to the conclusion that the knock is in the fuel tank. When the tank is completely full i get no noise at all, but when the level gets down a bit the noise starts until i get down to the last 90 litres when it disappears again. The noise is heard on rough patches of road, braking , accelerating from lights and reversing out of the driveway over gutter. Toyota have checked all suspension components and said there is no problems. They will pull the tank out, but they are telling me they do not know what their looking for as they have not had this problem before. I know i have read about fuel tank problems before but can't remember where. Has anyone out there had this problem themselves.
Cheers and thanks in advance.
Dave
