Strange repeating hissing noise.
Drove about 3k from cold. When I stopped there there was a hissing/gurgling noise that sounded like pressure being released coming from somewhere under the passenger's floor. It would go for about 4 seconds and stop, then do the same again about every 15 seconds. Kept it up in total for about 8 minutes. It didn't fade in or out, just started suddenly and stopped suddenly. It also continued for a while after the key was removed. There were no leaks underneath and no warning lights. Any suggestions please?
 
I think it must have been the fuel (diesel) tank gassing off but odd that I've never heard it before?
 
If the fuel cap was releasing pressure you’d smell diesel at the filler!
It maybe you have a sticky vent and it’s causing a vacuum in the tank!
