Last month my check fuel cap light came on and while investigating found that gas was pouring out of the tank. Called and had it taken to dealer where they found the crack and no apparent reason for it. Within 200 miles the light came back on, but no fuel smell or obvious problem. Waited through the holidays to take it in and during that time the check engine light came on. Just got the call, tank cracked in same spot and no apparent reason.

Has anyone else had issues with our fuel tanks?
2019 PW with approx 11500 miles.

I haven't seen it, somewhere up near the top. Neither myself nor the tow truck driver could find it. Techs only found it after dropping the tank.

I have. Dealer had my truck for 60 days trying to figure this one out after I told them I thought the tank was cracked. They replaced it and fixed all the issues. It was the roll over valve. Turns out the replacement tank the dealer ordered was cracked in the same spot. So had to wait another week for a new tank.

I’ll put up a pic but I know the name of my thread in the power wagon section was “power wagon down”

A few more and RAM can fall back on "normal characteristic" so they never have to fix it.

The drain hole for the bed falls directly over the roll over valve. Find the valve from the underside and you will find the roll over valve. Might have to use a cell phone to take a picture but there is a decent amount of room to get under there. Just need a mirror or camera to see the valve

Yep had same issue on my 2018 PW. Light on after many gas cap checks. Dealer did leak test and found crack. Replaced top unit and light went out.

Fuel pump? The rollover value is built into the tank. Cant be replaced on its own. Do you know where yours was cracked?
