hey everyone i have a 2000 f150 and noticed today that this part was rusted out under neath my truck, its located under the rear of the truck and bolted as a cross chassis brace with two black plastic boxes mounted to it. does anyone know what its called so i can order a new part? i attached a couple pics of one i found on a 97. Please Help!!!

 

Looks like the Evap canisters

 

can u explain that to me a little? the metal bracket just bolts on.

 

What do you need me to explain what they do or what I'm sorry I'm just confused by your question.

 

yes... what the evap does so i can ask a local parts store what bracket i am looking for...

 

It captures fuel vapors and prevents them from escaping to the atmosphere and then stores the fumes and recycles them to the fuel tank or engine intake for combustion as needed.

Basically it is your recycle bin for fuel fumes

 

awsome... thanks so much for the help

 

does anyone have any ideas where i might be able to buy this bracket online?

 

anyone??

 

I don't think anyone will sell it. Probably a local picking yard would be the best bet
