Re: [Chrysler300] Gas cap question

[moparpjf@xxxxxxx]

This raises a question - over the years I have noticed that when the gas  
runs low on my K, there is a considerable vacuum built up in the tank when I  
open the cap.  For that matter, at times it is almost difficult to open  
it.  My understanding is that the caps for the K's (and perhaps others) are  
not vented, but it strikes me that I run the risk of collapsing the tank if  
there is no venting of the tank.  Comments?????
 
Thanks,
 
Pete Fitch

Original part #1636-063
stand alone for 55-56

57-59  use 1732-416

60-62 use 1948-749

63 uses #2203-435

64 uses  #2208-545

65 uses #2208-538

Perhaps someone who has access to  other books can take this a step farther 
and cross refefence these numbers to  some aftermaarket suppliers.
I have already ran the #'s through my pre 1985  NAPA book 
and none of them compute.

a  close friend that owns one.

be available through Stant, but no 56  listed.   Are the caps the same for 
all Chryslers, 56 and  57?
