Default The Vette Is Making Bubbling Noises...?

After getting home today I parked outside of the garage, and then later when I went to pull the car in I noticed that just before I turn the car on and turn the key to accessory mode it makes a weird noise that sounds like a fluid flowing rapidly to the back of the car and then bubbling. It has never done that before, and now it does it right before I start the car every time. It concerned me... Anybody know whats up?

Never heard of something like that. Will be watching to see if anyone knows what this might be.

Yeah, I just don't know what it could be... Something with the fuel pump maybe, since its right behind the driver? but that does not explain the bubbling, or the flowing water sound. It starts and runs fine though.

Sounds like the fuel line, Maybe your car was low on gas and at an angle on the driveway making the noise?
Just a thought.
