    Attention to those replacing the cheap, plastic fuel cover

    I genuinely have no answer other than to point out with my setup the fuel hose going from the auxiliary tank to the truck fuel tank connects to the fill spout approximately 6” below the (now infamous) convex metal cap. This may not necessarily pertain to the discussion but I never fill the...

    Attention to those replacing the cheap, plastic fuel cover

    I get that. Honestly, never knew I had an issue (and at the risk of beating a very dead horse, I didn’t have an issue) until I used the aftermarket fuel cap which started this discussion in the first place.

    In my case, only with the fuel cap on does fuel leak out.

    Attention to those replacing the cheap, plastic fuel cover

    As a side benefit of RV hauling fueling up at truck stops makes it practically impossible to mix up diesel and DEF. The diesel fill nozzle is too large to ever think about putting in the DEF hole, and more importantly (when filling up in the semi ’fuel isle‘) DEF can only be dispensed AFTER...

    Attention to those replacing the cheap, plastic fuel cover

    Based on what you’re saying, I’m going to say, no. But I’ll add it never caused an issue prior to using the aftermarket cap and that includes the ‘18 F-250 I traded in back in September with 312K miles and the identical setup.

    Attention to those replacing the cheap, plastic fuel cover

    it seems that’s because, as has been pointed out, the plastic cap is merely for shipping purposes, not continued use. Not having the plastic cap on functions exactly like having it on, which is to say nothing pushes the convex cap in and it remains sealed. I only began experiencing issues when...

    Attention to those replacing the cheap, plastic fuel cover

    Ironically, I had a ‘12 F-150 with the ‘capless’ fuel fill. I never made the connection. I should have. That being said my original concern still stands. The after-market aluminum cap is useless in my application running an auxiliary fuel tank. It lets fuel spill out because it pushes the convex...

    Attention to those replacing the cheap, plastic fuel cover

    If you’re replacing the existing OE tank, then no. My auxiliary tank is mounted in the bed very close to the front. The fuel line from the tank passes through a hole (approximately 3” diameter) in the bed and attaches directly to the fuel-fill spout. The only control (if you call it that) is an...

    Only if you’re using a gravity-feed, auxiliary tank. If your truck is factory tank only…no worries.

    Uprgading driver’s seat: what about the airbag circuit/wiring? Help?

    I’m very interested in upgrading the OE driver’s seat to a long-haul, fully adjustable air seat for my ‘21 3500. Already spoke with a highly-recommended manufacturer in Elkhart, IN. BUT the rub is what about the airbag circuitry? Simply taking the seat out without some solution will in all...
