Default Gas tank noise

Anyone experience a gurgling/rattling in the gas tank after a fill up? I found this link while searching.

Did you do the above or how did you go about fixing it?

Mine does the same thing, when I shut down I hear this and the oil draining back into the oil pan. My take on the repair, it if it aint broke, don't fix it. The noise your hearing does'nt effect driveability.

OP's link describes the recall and the fix. Seems unnecesary to me though.
