The fuel tank noise issue in the 2021 Geely Xingrui has been resolved. Relevant information about automotive fuel tanks: Definition of fuel tank: A fuel tank is a container used in vehicles such as cars or airplanes to store fuel, and it is a specialized container in hydraulic systems for storing hydraulic oil. Functions of the fuel tank: In addition to storing gasoline, the fuel tank can also dissipate heat and separate air bubbles from the oil. It can be divided into two types: open fuel tanks and closed fuel tanks. Hydraulic oil: Hydraulic oil is the hydraulic medium used in hydraulic systems that utilize liquid pressure energy. It plays roles in energy transmission, wear resistance, system lubrication, corrosion prevention, rust prevention, and cooling within the hydraulic system.
I remember a friend who drives a Geely Xingrui mentioned this issue. The fuel tank noise, which sounds like a buzzing or sloshing sound, is actually quite common. The main reasons are excessive vibration from the fuel pump during operation or inadequate buffering in the tank design. My friend's 2021 model encountered this problem, especially noticeable at highway speeds. Later, he took it to a 4S shop for inspection and was told that Geely had issued an update notice regarding this issue. The technician performed an ECU software upgrade and adjusted the fuel pump's operating mode. The results were good, significantly reducing the noise. Geely improved the design after 2022, and newer models basically don't have this issue anymore. If owners still experience problems, it's advisable to contact a dealer promptly for diagnosis, as the noise not only affects the driving experience but may also hide safety hazards. Don't attempt DIY repairs; seeking professional help is the most reliable solution. Here's some advice: regularly checking the fuel system during maintenance can also prevent issues.
