Hi Everyone,

Gotta Question.....If you remove your gas cap, Isn't there supposed to be a little spring loaded "door" that covers the hole where you insert the gas pump nozzle? It opens once you insert the nozzle and pump gas.

If I remove the gas cap on my 04 Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi, there isnt one, just a hole that you could pour anything into. This seemed odd to me, since every car I have ever owned (including a 98 Ram 1500 4x4) had some sort of similar device blocking the fill up hole. I gotta 34 gallon gas tank, if that makes any difference. Maybe it is supposed to be like this?? What is yours like?

Thanks for any help and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Mike

 

My '04 Ram does not have one. I've got the 24 (?) gallon tank.

 

Mine don't have one either (it must be because we love our RAMs we can put our PEEPPEE in it) lol

 

Thanks Guys,

I guess thats the way they make 'em!

Mine's the same...one problem I'm having is that EVERY time I fill up it overflows. Doesn't matter what gas station it's at. I've had that happen once in a while on my other vehicles but nothing like this. I don't know if there's a restriction in the filller neck, or if that's just the way it is. Is it doing that for anyone else?

 

The fuel fill restricter was originally there to keep people from putting the cheaper leaded gas
into their cars when both kinds were still offered at the pumps. I haven't seen leaded gas sold
anywhere in a long time so I guess Dodge decided to stop putting it on their cars.

Me 05 dosent have one.

 

only problem I have is the idiocy factor of Diesel. . .stuff foams up on you so it takes 15 min to get the tank topped off good.
