When I opened my fuel cap to fill up my car with petrol , there was a sound of air releasinging from the the fuel tank.
Just wondered what could be up as I know it did this on my old mini as something may have been clogged up??
I did nealy have the car on empty so could it be that?
thanks for any help.

If you've run it from full to totally empty it will build up a vacuum, and it'll hiss as air rushes in.
