Default Rollover valve

Hello, I have a 96 Dakota sport, 3.9. My question is: does the rollover valve need to be hooked up at the fuel pump as it is intended to be. Or can the vehicle operate normally if the line for the rollover valve has been plugged or its just not hooked up because the nipple got broke off. Thanks

It's where the fumes from the gas tank go to the evaporative canister; !I! would not run it with gas fumes back there, plus it may easily toss a EVAP code.

But it's your truck.

I figured it had a necessary purpose. Truck is still not running so not driving it is not a problem. I want to thank you RalphP for all your help with this truck. iI probably wont get anything else done to it for a minute or two. Got to find a real mechanic to work on it. And he must be affordable for me. That will be a challenge. LOL...

Hee!

Yep, I tend to do my own work because I'm too broke to afford a mechanic.

But with the decades I've been doing it, I've learned a few things. Think of me being like Farmer's Insurance. "I know a few things because I've seen a few things."

I can’t afford a mechanic either. it seems like when I have a friend come do something, I swear they do some sabotage so that I have to call them to do something else. It’s a vicooks cycle. There are a lot of haters out there. I believe they are jealous or something!...LOL

Maybe they just enjoy your company, and need an excuse to come back and see you.
