Fuel system pressurisation noises in hot weather
Discussion
Just got back from a drive, car was in queueing traffic for last 15 minutes or so (thank the lord for aircon). Now, I know from previous TVRs that the fuel pumps can get a bit noisy when really hot - and my T350 one was whining a bit. Got home, got out and there was a 'phhhhhhhhhhhhh' noise coming from the fuel filler. I knew it was excess pressure in the fuel system. Now why do TVRs have this 'feature' while most cars don't? Mine is a nearly new model so has whather they did to improve the filler/breather. It's embarrassing to have your car making a whining noise for 30 minutes after parking up.
I opened the filler flap a smidgette and let off the pressure so it quietened down after it was still farting 10 minutes later.
