Call me a moron, a newbee or both but I did something VERY stupid this weekend. Three of us went chukar hunting in central nevada and there was some pretty good off44r4oading to be had. The Rubicon did incredible, never even had to shift into 4 wheel. One problem: When I gassed the Jeep, apparently I forgot to fully turn the gas cap. No check engine light, no service light but after offroading in some nasty fluffy sand and causing a ton of dust devils, I noticed the gas cap was OFF when we stopped. I swabbed the internal surface to remove the fine film of dust and cleaned off the gas cap- also very dusty. I'm worried the gas tank is now a sandy or dusty mess.
Suggestions? I'm thinking run two tanks to allow the fuel filter to do it's job and then replace the fuel filter. I'm really kicking myself in the ass about this because the jeep only has 8700 miles! I drove it back home last night for almost 5 hours and it performed flawlessly, but I'm more worried about long term effects.
