Checking out this fuel tank through the 5th wheel cutout and noticed nipples for the tank with no tubing connected.
I just picked up the truck and put fuel in it; the low fuel light is still on, so I'm figuring it's the float or sensor.
What are these connected to, if anything, on all of you's trucks?
It looks to be some vent tube if I was to guess.

Agree; I believe it’s the rollover vent valve and should not be connected or plugged.
The low fuel light will be an electrical connection from the lift pump module.

That fitting vents to the air.
As your fuel is used to keep from making a vacuum, that lets air in to balance the pressure.
If the truck rolls over, it springs closed for spills.
You can install a hose and hang it over the side of the tank if you think water can puddle in the area and not suck into the tank.
I have it on my tank.
My tank has one on the front and back of the tank.

Thanks, brother!Originally Posted by AnOldBiker
Super helpful and informative.
I may take that route, as the dried residue is from previously standing water.
Thanks, everyone else, for the prompt responses.
It helped settle any worry.
