Dear rennlist members, Has anyone had any problems with "rattle noise" from the fuel tank in 996 ? There is a distinct sound (rattle noise) when the car is driven over speedbumps / ruff pavement - Its sounds a little like loose stabilizer bushings (front axle), but there is no doubt that its origin is inside the fuel tank, most likely from either the fuel pump og tank guage mountings. You can hear the sound when the car sits at a stand still, and shake the front of the car sideways at the tire with your hands. I have done this on a different 996 (same model year), and heard the same noise, only it was much more quiet... I know I have heard / read about this a long time ago... But can`t remember the solution to this problem. Any tip are very welcome, and much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
