Fuel Sloshing Noise

Fuel Sloshing Noise
I'm sure this is normal but I've never heard this in any other car. When you have no other sound bothering you in the car and you stop, you can hear liquid sloshing around underneath you. I'm guessing it is from the fuel tank. Does this bother anyone else? I have a '13 Sport if that means anything.

My 2010 doesnt make that noise.
There may be a different fuel tank or a change to the inside of it. Could be they changed a baffle. You would have to find out if the tanks are the same to make a fair comparison.
Are there any other 2013 owners or any other year owners that hear that noise?

Normal operation for ALL Fits due to the fuel tank being right next to the drivers seat. GD and GE if you haven't heard it turn down the radio with 1/2 tank or less and apply the brakes swiftly and release swiftly at low speeds and you WILL hear it.

I just filled up so when it gets low ill try it. Im not hard on the brakes so thats why i haven't noticed it yet.
I can totally see how hard braking and a quick release could cause that.
Easy to fix with volume control!

yah, this is normal and this has been the way since i had my '08. my 09 does it, so does my '12.
other cars ive owned also had this noise, but it was harder to hear as the tank was farther back than right under the seats.

Still hear it when the tank is nearly full. Thank you anyway. Happy new to everyone!

I hear my gas slosh all the time and there is a reason for it. The 2013 Fit's apparently moved up the gas tank closer to the front to help with stability - so my conclusion is that the closer it is to you, the more likely you are to hear it
