Swapping wheels today on my roommate's 2017, and heard some fairly load sloshing sounds. Is this normal gas camel behavior? (Please click here if video doesn't load) I've never noticed it before, which doesn't necessarily mean it's abnormal, but I'd still like to ask just in case something might be secretly going cattywampus in there.
Oh heck, okay. I'll take a look. I was about to take it out and test the new wheels/winter tires. Soaking of that, he's using the original lug nuts on the winter steelies. They turn down at least twelve turns, but stick out quite a bit because they're taller. Think that'll cause issues, or will it just simply look wonky? They tightened down okay and the wheels seem stable.
After I drove it around the block, but I'm not entirely sure how level this surface is. (It was so cold, but hopefully these will do.
Hm, you know...This is actually the same car with the leaking issue discussed here. It would have anything to do with the transmission fluid, right? Just throwing this out there as well.
Reference the sloshing sound, it used to be a thing back in the day for mischievous kids to dump gravel into the gas tanks of cars. Other popular adulterants were sand and more distructively sugar. My Gen 4 has limited access to the gasoline fill point, making that bit of trickery impossible. When you are ready to put gas in the car you press the fuel door release and that starts a timer which will close off the fill port. Nevermind that access is also protected by a locked fuel door. Your vehicle might have these same security features, so I'm going on about nothing.
