Most common causes on the 2015 Ford F 150 Super Crew

Ranked from 1,425 NHTSA owner complaints filed for this vehicle.

Sort by:

1
Capless fuel filler flap seal failure
Medium severity
The capless filler system on this truck is documented here as allowing air into the tank, escalating from a small evap leak/fuel-door code to a large leak that appears on every start.
Reported in 2 NHTSA complaints
Parts:fuel filler flap seal
2
Purge valve/solenoid failure
Medium severity
A purge solenoid replacement did not fully resolve a worsening leak code on this truck, indicating the purge circuit is a real contributor to the large-leak condition alongside the filler flap.
Reported in 1 NHTSA complaint
Parts:purge valve
3
Missing or badly damaged gas cap (on capped variants) or stuck-open flap
Low severity
A cap left off or a filler flap that won't close is an immediate, repeatable large-leak trigger — the first thing to rule out.
Common cause
Parts:fuel cap
4
Disconnected or split large EVAP hose
Medium severity
A popped-off or split hose creates a wide-open path to atmosphere that the monitor reads immediately as a large leak.
Common cause
Parts:EVAP hose
5
Vent valve stuck open
Medium severity
A canister vent solenoid failed open prevents the EVAP system from sealing under any test condition.
Common cause
Parts:vent valve
6
Corroded/rusted filler neck or tank seam
Medium severity
Perforation at the filler neck or a tank seam creates a large, constant leak path, more common on higher-mileage trucks.
Common cause
Parts:fuel filler neck

What to check before replacing parts

Check the gas cap first

Look for: A loose, missing, or cross-threaded cap is by far the most common cause of a large EVAP leak code — if it doesn't click to full tightness or the seal is cracked, that's very likely the whole fault.

Inspect visible EVAP hoses

Look for: A large leak is often obvious: a hose disconnected at a fitting, split open, or chewed through (rodent damage is common) rather than a hairline crack.

Command the purge and vent valves with a scan tool

Look for: A valve that doesn't respond at all when commanded open/closed, or stays open when it should seal, prevents the system from holding pressure/vacuum and reads as a large leak.

Smoke-test the system

Look for: With a large leak, expect an obvious plume of smoke or a clearly audible hiss at the fault location — it should be easy to spot compared to a small-leak diagnosis.

Inspect the canister and filler neck

Look for: A cracked charcoal canister housing or a corroded/rusted-through filler neck (common on older vehicles) can leak enough to prevent the system from ever holding vacuum.

Rather have a pro handle it? Find a vetted local mechanic.
