Default Putting fuel additive into the tank
Is there a trick to putting anything but fuel into one of the capless systems? Nothing seems to open the metal flap except a nozzle at the pump.

Check in the rear of your cab, there should be a plastic funnel that looks something like this. If you don't have one, I'd suggest you pick one up in case you ever have to add fuel to the truck outside of a gas station.

If you don't have the funnel, pour it in the pump spout, it wont take it all you will have to make several pours.


In an emergency, yes. Never an issue!

Manual will also tell you to not use any additives.
