V10 question

[Onelilstroker85]

So question for the gasser community my dad bought a 2005 f250 with a v10 and everything looks normal but there's a hose that goes from the rear of the truck above the spar tire hoist and goes to the engin compartment my question is what is it

[ars5147]

Probably the evaporation canister. For emissions purposes. I think that the evap catch canister is mounted on a cross-memeber above the spare. A friend's F150 is like that. Hose takes vapors back to the can under the bed.

But it's connected to anything under the hood the hose goes right in front of the radiator and stops there

[ars5147]

May have come disconnected from something. What does it look like?

[Onelilstroker85]

It's a 3/4 heater hose that goes from the front of the radiator to the thing over the spare tire it rides the frame the whole way

should be a solenoid controlled by ECM to allow vapors stored in the canister, to be burned in the engine. maybe during prior service work someone either forgot or intentionally removed said solenoid?

Were would the Soleniod be
