Help with fuel transfer valve
Hello, I just bought an RDS tank. It is gravity filled. It will go in a 2022 Ram 3500. Apparently,RAM decided not to put a gas cap on these trucks so you have to manually fill the tank (open valve)...

I was told that because the 2022 Ram 3500 doesn't have a fuel cap, fuel spills out even with the check valve in place. I don't see how but apparently it does.
It sounds like the mechanized ball valve may be an overkill. Perhaps a simpler solenoid would work better. It will be nice to leave the manual shutoff valve open, use the solenoid to control the aux tank remotely and let the check valve keep main tank from overflowing. I am just a little confused with the no gas cap situation and what it means.

All you need is the tee for the fuel filler hose with a check valve in it. They’re sold by the fuel tank mfgs as “kits.” Gravity feed, 100% hands off and super simple.
No, it has nothing to do with having a gas cap or not.
I guess wiring in an electric valve with a solenoid that is plumbed into essentially the same piece is less complicated? (because you’d still want a check valve unless you like systems that are completely reliant on the operator never making an error)
And of course, a manual shutoff on the slip tank.
