Some GMC Canyon owners report experiencing a sloshing sound of fuel during starts and stops, which is commonly attributed to the movement of fuel within the tank. This sound can become more pronounced when the fuel tank is low, as the air space allows the remaining fuel to swish around. Even when the tank is half full, some owners still notice this sloshing noise. Topping off the tank during refueling may alleviate the sound caused by low gas levels. In certain cases, the sloshing may be normal and fade away on its own after a few minutes. However, it is crucial for owners to distinguish this sound from other potential issues, such as a clogged evaporator condensate drain or low coolant levels, which may require further attention. Monitoring the fuel sound over time can help determine if any additional action is necessary.
