Fuel vent?

Hey guys, I filled up yestarday and noticed that when I took my cap off it released pressure and I know there is a thread about this and a link on how to clean your vent but I have looked all over and can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Its for my Diesel fuel tank. Thanks

Re:Fuel vent?

Get under the truck and look up on top of the fuel tank there are fuel lines goin in threw the top. There is also a little elbow that should not have a cover on it. That is your vent if the cover is already off you might rub around and see if maybe something is plugging it. Hope this helps.

Re:Fuel vent?

I drilled two small holes right through my factory fuel cap.<br><br>I think the newer trucks [02 and up] have some kind of switch or sensor on that fuel filler don't they? So if its not on all the way the engine light goes on?<br><br>I dunno, I'm better at writing stories and melting plastic...I think I will leave now.<br><br>

Re:Fuel vent?

Awesome thanks guys. Does anyone have the link to this forum that explains how to clean it and has a link for step by step instructions. I remember reading it not too long ago. Thanks

There was a page about it on dodgeram.org but the site is down for whatever reason.
