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)...
Forum Discussion
Here is what my research and feedback is leading.
Use the RDS kit. It comes with a manual shutoff valve for the tank and a check valve for the fuel filler hose.
RDS recommended using a Diesel and Def cap designed for the new Rams.

On long drives, leave the manual shutoff valve open.
I am still undecided on the solenoid. Too many complaints on failures. If I use it, I will install it before the RDS kit and after the manual shutoff valve in the tank. I guess the worst that could happen is that it stays closed and I don't get to use the aux tank. The other scenario of it staying open can always be managed with either the check valve or shutoff valve.
Anything I am missing?
Thank you for the feedback
