So I asked my dealer to call his district Rep and ask if there would be any issue using the green aluminum cap. I reason I asked was I was worried that using the cap may interfere with the venting of the tank. Just like a capped system will throw a code and issue a warning "Tighten or Replace Gas Cap", what if any issues would we have if we add a cap to the system?
Well I got my answer Saturday after dropping off the daughters 2014 Dart. Jon told me that it is Ram's position that NO CAP BE USED! I will see if I can get an Engineer from my plant to contact someone in the fuel systems department to see why and what effect adding a cap to the system would cause.
The trucks are shipped from the fuel tank supplier to the Assembly Plant with a green plastic cap installed. The factory removes this cap to add fuel and then reinstalls it. The dealers are instructed to remove and dispose (recycle) the caps.
I wonder if some of the codes people are seeing could be traced back to adding this cap. I would not have an issue with the capless system if the fuel door was latched close .
