In the 2006 Ford F-150, a common and frustrating error code indicates a leak in the EVAP system. If you live in a state that requires emissions testing, you'll likely need to fix this issue before your truck can pass inspection. One of the main causes of EVAP leaks is often the EVAP canister or purge valve, which are not easy to access. The EVAP canister is located on top of the fuel tank, meaning you'll have to drop the tank when making repairs or replacing parts, unless you want to struggle in a tight space. My advice is to use a vehicle lift for more space or take your truck to a professional mechanic to handle the repair, as it may be costly but will save you a lot of time and frustration.
