Just bought a 2017, with no fuel cap..WTH?
So I just replaced my 2006 with a 2017 and it appears they don't come with a fuel cap. Ok, I get that with emissions etc it doesn't need one, but it appears that there's plenty of opportunity for dust/road grime/etc to accumulate and then get forced into the tank when you put the nozzle in.
Is everyone putting on a cap on anyway, and if so which do you recommend? I see there's a mopar one 82214609. Does this fit the 17's?
Thanks all and Happy New Year,

I guess the second flapper is why you have to push the diesel fuel pump nozzle all the way in, or it just shuts off when re-fueling.

buddy bought a "work" truck with 30k on it.
OH MY, the inside of the gas cap area was FILTHY. it looked like they had been mixing concrete in there.
and of course, they had lost the red cap.

This is what I bought as a fuel cap.
Oatey 1-1/2 in. Gripper Plastic Mechanical Test Plug-33400 - The Home Depot
You can get it at Home Depot for less then $3.50. Works great keeping everything all neat and clean! Fits snug with no modifications.

I suppose you could add one to the Home Depot one for cheap if wanted. I just put it on the side rails when I fill and haven't forgotten it yet, but for $3.50 it wouldn't be terrible if I did. LOL.
I've been running the Home Depot one now for about a year and half and 25-30 thousand miles with nary an hiccup!
