Mine will "rattle" under the tank sometimes when I hit a bump and I can't zero in on the loose component. TIA Bob

However, it makes the noise regardless of whether or not the tank is full or empty. I'm going to try and get a mirror or something to try and get a look at the inside. Whatever the piece is, it has a bit of weight to it. Like a 1/4" nut or something.
