Dreaded fuel cap.

Found this from PS themselves:

You gonna trust that? LOL

However, I did find this on the net. Cummins approves/recommends PS. This was May of 2017.

I see no alcohol listed on the SDS.

You won't. The only thing they'll list is "trade secret." They aren't required to list the actual components.

Use at your own risk. You won't catch it in ANY of my diesels or garage.


OP, sorry to have hijacked your thread.... wasn't my intent.

I am not a chemist, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night. I was instructed long ago when I was wrenching on two-strokes to watch out for words with ethyl or ether, as they can be alcohol in disguise.

I saw this article:

I'm using it since its readily available and recommended.
I used it in my 2004 since new and never had a problem with injectors and such...

Wrong. They do list the actual ingredients if your bother to look up the scientific description. They do not list the common name of the ingredients. I’m going to assume you have a search engine available since you’re corresponding using an internet connected device. Use it.

 

[dieselshadow]

Wrong.

Read the previous few posts again. Some other links were even posted by another member. There’s alcohol in them thar hills....

With a boiling point of 315 Fahrenheit? If you say so.

That confirms it, the Fuel Cap is no longer Dreaded!

Wonder why FCA put those ribs in the fuel filler hole. How is this improvement from the rib-less design found on previous model year trucks. Some engineer in the "capless fuel fill division" get his panties in wad because the aftermarket came out with a cap ?

 

[RVTRKN]

My mind went there as well, however my thought was they changed the way the breather is designed, and didn't want a seal at the cap.

Are there to catch on the spring on the nozzle and keep it from jumping out or hold it down to open lower flap.

OK, just ordered new cap for the 19's. It looks like a felt that will give were the ribs are. I guess I'll know in a few days. https://www.genosgarage.com/product...l-filler-dust-cap-green-82215782/new-products

I still would like to have some way of locking the diesel cap period!

 

[Minnow101]

That EBay listing didn’t list what years the cap was applicable to. I wouldn’t use it on the new ribbed filler tube as I’d be concerned that those ribs would eventually rip/tear that foam causing bits of that stuff to fall down into the tube. That cap might be alright for the earlier smooth bore filer tubes but I’d still be watching for deterioration of that foam.
