Re: Gas Tank Rattle

Get on the ground and put your foot against the tank and see if it stops. Hit the tank with a rubber mallet and see if it affects it.

I have seen a few cars with a baffle around the fuel pump in the tank that has broken loose or bent and makes noises...

Depending on the sound, could it be a tank vent solenoid chattering?
