I hear the sloshing (except on a full tank of gas) every time I park or come to a complete stop at a red light/stop sign, but if the air conditioner or radio is on then the sound is muted. Is the sloshing a normal sound or is there supposed to be some sort of mechanism in order to prevent that sound from happening?? Thank you:-)

 

I haven't gone through this type of experience while purchasing my fit!!! might be their own vehicle have some defects but m not sure about this!

 

get in ur car with eveything off and ur windows up and move back in forth in ur seat then stop and listen u will hear it i got a 2012 i hear that shit it funny lol idk

 

Yeah, I can hear it in nine as well. Nothing I lose sleep over though.

If it bothers you, I know that there is a racing-application type sponge material designed to absorb and hold fuel in the tank so that the weight distribution is preserved.

 

The 'foam' merely assists in fire retardancy; fuel still flows readily back and forth but I suspect it may quiet that sloshing.
Then there'sd the application in a formed tank ....
If you want to quiet the sloshing encapsulating the tank with foam outside to mask the noise might be a more realistic solution.

 

It's just the gas sloshing around in the gas tank which is located under the front seat in a Fit. That's why you can hear it.

 

I hear it too... This thread confirms that I was correct. I mean you have to really pay attention and the noise out there have to be minimal, but I hear it occasionally.

 

i hear it all the time my tanks always full

 

Oh yea I forgot to mention, I hear it mostly when the tank is about 50% or less

But maybe they have improve this in newer model... mine is a 2008

 

suggestions are coming and will keep come but it is up to you to find the one beast fit to your relevant needs

 

its normal with the minimal sound proofing the fit has. take a water bottle, half fill it and shake it back and forth.. you will feel and hear liquid moving


best advice. Turn up the radio!
