Fiat and Cummins in court
Saw this on another forum. Fiat Cummins lawsuit
Forum Discussion
Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to call you out Don, for the other post. I was searching for other info regarding capless systems on Ram, and came across the post. Cruising through it, I saw the discussion on page 8 or so, talking about the same question.. does the liquid leak out or not.
Elsewhere on the inter-web, there's alot of information that seems to support the idea that liquid/fuel should NOT escape between the two flappers and leak to the ground. There's folks who have posted pictures of diesel fuel sitting in the area between.. just sitting there, not escaping. I know what happened when I tested. Could there be a difference in design between the 1500 and 2500/3500?
I do have the green 'shipping' plug and I'll keep using it. Of note, I looked again, and there is some black 'crud' in the cavity of the green plug. Not a lot, but there is some.
Also, my gas door has a gasket around it, so I assume that keeps SOME **** from coming in. Next time I run through a carwash, I will check to see how much water comes in the door.
