    I filled up and then forgot to put the cap on on one of my tanks, then I drove about 200 miles. How bad is this? And yes, I know I'm a xxxxxxx

    Did this with my DEF. Then it looked like a huge salt patch on my rig after it dried up. Glad it rained the next day lol.

    I have not forgotten either the DEF or Fuel Lid.
    But I have forgotten countless of other things I won't mention here. :biggrin_25516::biggrin_25525:
