noises from fuel tank

hey,

I sometimes here noises coming from my fuel tank, like bubbling noises, what is that? I hope its not the petrol boiling?? It mainly happens when in traffic and then I stop and it makes the bubbly noises but after short time they go away and are back when I stop the next time. is it normal?

Probably just unused fuel returning to the tank via the return line. This would happen when you stop because the amount of fuel you're using drops and so more is is being returned to the tank. Listen when you turn your engine off, you should hear the fuel 'bubbling' back into the tank.
