Default Plumbing Sounds

Upon start up and shut down i sometimes hear some gurgling coming from the rear of my 97' XJ. I sounds like liquid is moving through some pipes or hoses. My skid plate protecting my fuel tank is not dented. Does anyone have this same problem? Does anyone know if the stock fuel tank is a baffled fuel cell?
