Default sc400 fuel pump (bubbling?) noise

I just noticed I could hear the fuel pump/fuel (bubbling?) when the car is parked and idling, have had the car for 2 years and don't recall hearing it before.

After I shut it off it finishes bubbling and quiets down in a few seconds. Tank is 1/2 full, no apparent problems, just curious if it is normal

Are you sure it's your fuel pump?
It's more likely coming from coolent with air bubble trapped.

Yeah it's coming from the fuel tank behind the back seat, and you can hear it when you open the trunk. Nothing major just a gurgling sound.
