Message	I am troubleshooting a similar problem that ended up destroying my gas tank by collapsing it into itself and putting a hole in it. I had the extra long 'woosh' for a few months before the gas tank ruptured. From reading on other car forums, this happens when the vent line(s) get blocked, and it can be a problem if you have either positive or negative pressure. I did the carbon canister delete and that may be related to my issues. Also, a few people have said that incorrect gas caps can cause a problem, but I don't know why/how. Either way, be careful so you don't have to replace the whole tank like I'm doing right now.
