RE: Milano Rumbling

[Jim Roth <ready4c@xxxxxxx>]

Tony Brucia asks:
>>I' ve often noted a funny rumbling noise which affects my 2 transaxle Alfas
('88 Milano Verde and '83 GTV6).  When the car has been parked for a few
minutes and I start it up again, I hear what can only be described as a
rumble
for about 20 seconds that then fades away.  It sounds like its coming
from the
rear.  It doesn't happen after being parked overnight.  Only when parked
for a
few minutes.

Any ideas what it is?  <<

I always thought that it was the fuel return line bubbling up and
pressurizing the tank a bit. No real basis for this, other than I recall
someone at Spruell telling me this. I could be all wet, but it sounds
like a good explanation good to me.
