Just got a call from a mechanic friend of mine and I was reminded that my son and I replaced the fuel pump this summer.

Had to pull the bed, etc.

Putting it back on, we bent the filler tube more than what it should have and consequently caused a crack in the filler tube so I can't top off my tank automatically .... about 1/2 gallon leaks out. When I fill up, I use the guage on the dash and stop the fill at the perfect, almost topped off point but below the crack

My mechanic friend said BINGO .... that crack prevented the "closing" of the closed loop system.

I'll chew some bubble gum tomorrow and fix it, drive off the "faults" and get inspected

I hope.
