Stupid capless fuel filler BS

[Wiredawg]

Mine will hold much more too. After first click filling main tank, I put locking cap on and fill aux tank with ball valve open and top off aux tank. I've forgotten to close it and drained several more gallons into the main. The main swells up like a fat tick on a dawg.

Details on the kit? Source? Cost? Installation?

Your GOOGLE skills suck.....

https://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/p-4115-gdp-fuel-tank-vent-kit-03-12-59l-67l-dodge-cummins.aspx

TDR forum member Spooled Up originally sold and designed these. They work great.....

The above one is only listed for use through the 2012 MY, most likely due to the cap less fill design implemented on the 2013 & newer trucks. IMO......as long as one did not fill up then drive 1/10th of a mile home and shut down, you will most likely be just fine.

I found that one all by myself and noted it did not list for 2013 plus. But thanks for your help!

What a great engineering feat.... Capless fuel filler. Are they idiots at FCA?? So last night was the first time I've filled tank since I got the truck last Tuesday. I stop at Chevron and put the nozzle in, pull the lever and whoosh.... Diesel everywhere! Did it twice until I figured out you have to stuff the nozzle completely into the filler neck. About a 1/4 gallon of fuel everywhere. Then as standing there I notice that the weight of the filler and hose hanging off the green plastic neck is bending the green plastic into an oval shape. So I guess I need to hold the filler the entire fill-up to prevent trashing the green plastic fuel "hole"??? I also noticed that the spring like thing thats wrapped around the filler neck over time will just eat up the green plastic thing. What F'n BS idea is this?? Did they redesign the whole thing just to make space for the DEF filler?? F'n idiots man! The DEF fluid lasts a long time, It's not needed to have it so accessible like your adding DEF every other fill-up. The DEF filler should be under the hood, Not tucked up off the side. I already have the aluminum fuel cap but still man.... what a BS idea. I'd love to hear FCA's reason for the re-design. Hopefully some aftermarket company will offer a better solution than the simple caps that are out there. When I went to my truck this morning there was a big spot of fuel right under the fuel filler on the ground.. Then when I pulled up to my shop a couple of drops of fuel already dripped on the ground, I looked underneath and the entire fuel filler hose is wet and dripping and there is fuel spread down the frame rail. WTF us this??? 1 week old truck with 478 miles on it ******* fuel?? Going to the dealer today to see WTF is up.

Look at this and it went up two more, and on the Oregon Coast, NO less in early May.

No product yet from Glacier for the 4th's. I picked up a few gallons with the relocation.

 

[Dieselnut59]

I am glad my 4500 does not have that crap! Two green caps for the fuel tanks and one blue cap for the DEF.
