Found quick fix for leaking freightliner fuel cap ,just go to any auto part house and ask for a chevy 350 rear freeze plug, I believe it measures 1 5/8 or close to it, any how remove fuel cap from tank , then discard chain ,freeze plug will fit perfect on hole . Ive tried it and it works ,Also make sure tank is vented .

good tip, I could never figure out why FL couldn't make a fuel cap that didn't leak. None of the other companies seem to have that problem.

Mine don't leak. In 16 years.
What happens when the freeze plug falls? -
lol clunk, at least its steel so you can use a magnet
-
Here's another tip. Don't buy a freightliner! Lol
Oxbow Thanks this. -
C'mon guy's,I'm just trying to be helpful by sharing what I did and not to turn this into a haters post....If you can benefit from this fine if not do like I've done in the past when I disagree with someone and keep bad comments to yourself.....

I dont hate freightliner. Was merely remarking that if you did lose the freeze plug because it is steel, it is magnetic.
Not sure if I will return to the road at this stage in my life. But my preferrence is still a freightliner. Oscar need not have posted, just my 2 pennies.
