That's normal. It's just the pressures in the tank equalizing.

It is air being sucked in through the key hole. How full do you fill you tank? Try to leave some room. Also check your drain hose that lets water out from around the neck make sure itis notpinched uder the tank.

It's the filler cap letting air escape. When you hear it, open the cap. You will hear a whooosh.
