Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Installed a northern tool gravity fed auxiliary diesel fuel tank for diesel truck. Worked great for almost a year. All of a sudden when coming to a stop, noticed diesel fuel pouring out of filler tube. The 2016 ram 3500 diesel does not come with a fuel cap and relies on valve in filler tube to prevent fuel coming up, usually in a warm day situation. With weakened valve, and using gravity fed auxiliary fuel tank, ram truck can create safety and environmental hazard. The only way to eliminate hazard with fuel in auxiliary tank is to manually turn off valve on auxiliary tank. It is very common to have auxiliary fuel tank on 1 ton heavy truck. I would like to see ram go back to fuel cap or redesign current valve.
