Cracked Fuel filter cap, Top of engine need new?

So I changed my fuel filter(s) yesterday and putting the cap back on,(top of engine) it cracked due to overtightening more like a stress crack.

question is, is this under pressure or just a resevoir its not leaking but it cost $70. for a new one if there is now pressure then it should be aliright? i think, but if not i should by me a new one for the sake of a breakdown and a $200. tow

what do you guys think and if so where could i get another cheaper than the dealer?

Thanks
Koboss

...65psi or more so it is under pressure. Try online and your local international dealer (the same cap should be on the vt265). I would replace it because if it breaks the cost of the tow will be much less then the massive fire you will have...

Sorry you are right it is a VT275. They should have it in stock. I looked online and could not find a parts catalog so i can't give you a part number but they should be able to locate it for you.
