2003 Boxster S...what is this sound ???
Take a listen to this video and let me know if you've had this problem or what you think it may be. Thanks : )
So here is what happened:
So here is what happened:
- I heard this noise with no other symptoms, I thought, coming from the tank, no brainer, its the pump. Replaced the pump...easy. Did not solve the problem.
- Still no other symptoms other than the noise. Then I did some more research and found the comments about the Fuel Tank Vent Valve on Filler Neck, (aka Bleeder Valve), I changed that. Did not fix the noise, AND I was able to fill the tank once but last time I tried to fill the tank it wont accept the fuel.
- So now Im looking for help. Any help is appreciated.

Actually, I took it all apart again and I did not installed the sensor that sits in between the fuel tank vent valve on the filler neck. I took it all apart, put that sensor back in the right place and all is well, the noise is gone and I can fill with gas again. : )
