The purpose of the Lexus LX470 Fuel Tank Vent Valve is to protect the SUV by controlling the release of vapors, by preventing fumes from escaping while maintaining the pressure within the tank. Built to factory Lexus specifications, this Fuel Tank Vent Valve is located inside the EVAP system and opens quickly when pressure increases, and routes the vapors to the charcoal canister where they can cleanly combust. When the powertrain computer is doing its leak checks, the Fuel Tank Vent Valve snaps shut in milliseconds, so there is no loss of diagnostic accuracy and there are no unwanted warning lights on every LX470. Early LX470 editions applied a simple solenoid configuration, but the LX470 Fuel Tank Vent Valve was upgraded and its housings were beefed up, enhancements enabling the Fuel Tank Vent Valve to stand the test of heat, road salt, vibration and splash under years of use. Because the device cycles only in refueling or severe temperatures, wear remains minimal emphasizing the reputation for long term reliability of the LX470 that the driver of any LX470 can count on. The component mates excellently with 1998-2007 Lexus models within the same family to ensure compatibility drop without additional adapters and retain factory fuel efficiency scores. By ensuring that vapors are sealed securely, the Fuel Tank Vent Valve is also making a significant contribution to fire safety in the event of a collision, a safety edge that is in line with the wider Lexus commitment to passenger protection and to quality engineering. Its corrosion resistant housing, quick acting solenoid and finely tuned spring are special touches that help the Fuel Tank Vent Valve stand head and shoulders above its rivals in the luxury SUV market, allowing Lexus owners to be confident on every journey. Regular scans will immediately show if a valve sticks and swapping out a new Fuel Tank Vent Valve will restore smooth refueling and emissions control in a matter of minutes.
