94 www.turbodieselregister.com TDR 90 GREEN FILL CAP Truck body armor, winches, aftermarket tires, and similar modifications are my style of all-dressed-up, generally not shiny, add-ons. However, I'm not immune to adding a few pretty bits of bling just because I like or want them, but they should also be functional. The Aluminum Fuel Fill Green 'DIESEL' filler cap From Geno's Garage is arguably as functional as it is attractive for those of us who don't like our naked (filler) necks exposed to the world behind the factory unlocked fuel door. Despite the naysayers, dirt can enter the capless filler more readily than a traditional capped neck. I'm a fan of the Geno's filler cap and won't leave home without it. BLUE DEF CAP The OE blue plastic diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) filler cap works fine, though it looks mighty plain next to the new DIESEL fill cap behind my All-Sales locking aluminum fuel door. Plus, I've never been a fan of tethered caps that either dangle on the truck paint or get in the way during filling. The latter is my minor gripe with the OE fill cap; I'd rather cut-the-cord and completely remove a cap for my fill-ups. Forgetting to replace caps has not been a problem for me during 35 years of driving. The anodized blue, aluminum DEF filler cap from Geno's Garage was calling. Two O-rings seal the filler well, there is no tether so it's not in the way during filling (though the OE cord can be reused if you prefer), and it's a sharp match for the green aluminum cap. For these newest generation trucks, exhaust fluid is a critical, life-sustaining juice. To spin a few familiar words, our motto could be—until DEF do us part. I'd rather cut-the-cord and completely remove a cap for my fill-ups. Forgetting to replace caps has not been a problem for me during 35 years of driving. OE DEF cap vs. the beautiful aluminum Geno's piece. A perfect match. I chose to not reuse the lanyard. James Langan talks about his Fourth Generation Truck.
