Default Sloshing sound?

Hey guys, I was just curious.... My Camaro had been sitting up for about 10 months before I bought it from my buddy. It is actually a combination of three cars lol because two of my buddies had wrecked their 90 and 91 RS models on either side, one a v6 and one a 305 v8 - both with t5 trannies... so i bought the v6 body (1990 model) with the hard top, because honestly the T-Tops rock but have always given me a little trouble with leaking and such...

Anyway, I had to replace the rear end, gave her a full makeover/tune up. Changed oil etc... The rear end was leaking oil and was dry as a bone, which I unfortunately didn't realize until driving home and well... yikes... so had to shell out cash for a new rear end, replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributor, vacuum wires... anyway, I'm hearing a sloshing sound as I slow down to stop and go to park etc... I think it is just the fuel in the tank, but I was just seeing if anyone else ever noticed that type of sound? She is my daily driver right now and I cant afford anything else going wrong with her right now as I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to have her fixed after the rear end disaster... Thanks for any answers!!

Sincerely,
Mik

just one question what fuel tank is in this car? it should be baffled so you wouldnt have gas sloshing around, right? i think this question is best for MicroKid

I was inside the tank of my 91 when replacing the pump, well my eyes, hands and arms were! Other than the "boxed out" area that the pump, sending unit, and pickup sets in, there are no baffles inside the tank. Maybe you're keeping a low level in the tank where it moves around more, or your carpet or insulation is missing let you hear more tank noises than you normally would?
