Re: screaming petrol tank :S
Sounds like the air vent in the filler cap is blocked.

Re: screaming petrol tank :S
Nah.It's just the fumes escaping from the tank through the breather as it all expands with heat.My Kwaks play merry tunes doing this,and if there is a noise the breather can't be totally blocked.
