Hi everyone, I have a new kakadu and can actually hear the petrol swishing around when braking hard or on bumpy roads ... I am assuming this isnt normal??? can anybody comment on this.

Mine does the same thing.... Seems to be particularly bad when it is just below full.

Re: petrol tank noise

I haven't noticed that with my NZ VX, but the 'Oz' versions have the supplementary tank fitted where the spare wheel is on mine, so I'm wondering if that's where your noise is coming from.....can you isolate your extra tank to check ??

Rgds, Rob

Re: petrol tank noise

I drive a LC200 TD and I too notice the fuel noises in stop start traffic when the fuel gauge is about 3/4 full.

When the gauge is showing full, there's no fuel noises.

Whilst the LandCruiser 200 Series is quite a different vehicle to the 150 Series, Toyota's design and fabrication philosophy for a fuel tank probably isn't all that different between the two vehicles.
