does anyone know if there is any kind of electric valve or vent pump around the fuel tank ???
my 2002 1.2se is buzzing when i switch it off and sets the alarm off ?
then shuts the whole car down as if the battery has been disconnected?
it is not the fuel pump as i can disconnect it and it is still there,
it is something to do with the pressure in the tank cos i can release the fuel cap to let any pressure out and it stops buzzing
any ideas anyone
buzzing from fuel tank

there's more than one fuel pump in the polo system - IIRC there's three not including the actual injector.
if you take a mk3 at least and put the rear seats down, this takes away a lot of the muffling over the tank and you can hear the fuel lift pump working a lot more plainly than normal - it makes a kind of reserved, constant buzzing noise thats almost musical really.
that it keeps going after you remove the key is a worry, particularly it being enough to set the alarm off ... but this may be the source?
