Q&A

My engine will not sustain combustion once I start my vehicle. This issue only manifests itself upon the refilling of my fuel tank. After several (3 to 4) attempts to start the vehicle it will finally start and sustain combustion on a long term bases. I have replaced my purge valve solenoid, but that did not remedy the issue.

In support of these this set of symptoms, I have had a formal diagnostic done by a local Ford dealership only to be informed that I need to replace the EVAP canister as well as the EVAP management valve.

I was under the impression that the EVAP canister is located in front of the fuel tank and mounted to the frame of the truck, just under the drivers/passenger door post. As for the EVAP management valve, I was also under the impression that this component is mounted on the fire wall under hood.
