Just get gas ? Might check that gas cap is tight.

Condition for setting the DTC
The fuel tank pressure sensor is less than -10 inches H2O
The condition is present for as long as 30 seconds.

Said it may take three times of starting the truck for it to go away after the cap is tightened.

Gotta love a good EVAP code. Autozone or Advanced Auto will reset it for you. May need to replace your gas cap, or take off and put it back on again.

I had the same code, 4 times in the last 2 months. Had the dealer replace a few parts. I will PM you the parts they replaced. The last one to get replaced was the evap canister. It was coverd in mud. I know a sensor near the gas tank too. Again, too much mud. I will check my paperwork in the morning. If you reset it, I doubt the problem will go away.....lol. Better to fix it right IMO. Been a week, and so far so good. Seems like every 700 miles or so it would kick on.

If there is a lot of snow where you are from, the vent solenoid could also be clogged with snow under the driver's rocker panel.

A lose or defective fuel cap is a more common cause of trouble code P0446, but if that's not it further testing of the evap system is required.

"An intermittent condition could be caused by a damaged evaporative emission (EVAP) vent housing, a temporary blockage at the EVAP vent solenoid inlet, or a pinched vent hose. A blockage in the vent system will also cause a poor fuel fill problem."

I replaced my gas cap when mine popped a 446 about 4 months ago, and so far so good
