Fiat and Cummins in court

Well don't know what to tell you all but mine doesn't drip a drop of diesel on the ground. Hell in almost every state you can be fined for spilling fuel on the ground! Look it up! So do you think FCA/Ram or any other manufacture would design a filler tube that would allow fuel to spill on to the ground!?

Don, the spout is designed so that diesel doesn't spill, but things added without the use of a long diesel spout or the filler tube will spill. The design of the dual flap system is such that if you try to add DEF to the diesel tank, the DEF tube won't have enough rigidity to push through the spouts. If you force the first spout open with a finger and jam the DEF filler tube past the first spout, it still won't have the rigidity to open the second spout. The DEF will empty out and hit the second spout and safely drain to the ground, rather than into your diesel tank.

I understand that you are hesitant to try new technology... most of us are. I wasn't really a fan of the dual spout, no cap system either. Luckily I have a work car that had this technology (gas engine though) so I have seen first hand that it works and was well designed. My system works perfectly, I'm sure yours does too.
