Never said sh!t about filling a diesel up to high, I fill mine right up toothed top of the tube, then wait for the foam and do it again

Part of it to allow air space for the expansion of the fuel, this will keep the tank from pressuring up.

Plus, who wants to wait 5 minutes for the guy in front to top off with another 5 liters?

My 2009 ram 1500 when the pump clicks off its full! I was like you when I first got it, I tried to get few more litres in. But with those trucks you only get about 10 cents more.

Ha! Awesome to know, i thought that but i also thought it was the foam and the fuel line bend.

Well the vapors emitted when u take the cap off ur gas fuel tank

Diesel don't have it really , hence y diesels don't have a evap system


So stuff that up ur azz, smart azz

Hey you lippy bass-turd, was just wondering if you realized that gasoline and diesel are both hydrocarbons. That's all.

nope, I am not handicapped, I was able to spell hydrocarbon, read the definition, and determine it is indeed a hydrocarbon all on my own but thanks for the input

Obviously u couldn't read the posts before.... Cause then u would have seen nothing said about diesel hydrocarbons.....

But gas hydrocarbons and issues with them from filling them up too far

Random question that might have already been asked, but I'm assuming the small diesel still has all the emissions stuff?

16.6 L/100 km pulling a 2 place out to valemont. Have 46000 Kms already. So far the truck has been awesome. My brother in law has one also had one minor hiccup with a code but a recall cleaned it up. Empty avg around 10 l/100 km in the winter. My brothers Chevy is avg 13 L/100 km city driving in edmonton and best on the hiway is 11 l/100

Wife's new Eco Diesel. Only been a few days but what cool little engine, pulls this thing around quite nicely. Same set up as the Ram, 3.0 with the 8 speed.

I got 10.4L/100km on my last empty trip from Calgary to Revy and back. That's moving at a pretty decent clip too.
