Frame-Mount Side-Fill Gas Tank with 255 LPH Pump for LS 1967-1972 Chevy Trucks
When fitting an LS engine into a classic 1967-1972 Chevy pickup the Frame Mount Gas Tank with side fill and a 255 lph pump solves the underframe space and fuel demand challenges. Featuring an 18 gallon capacity and internal baffling this tank maintains a steady supply even under hard cornering or sudden braking. An integrated Walbro 255 pump rated for up to 550 horsepower pairs with a zero to ninety ohm sending unit that works with original gauges for accurate fuel readings and hassle free installation along the rear frame rails.
Advanced Internal Baffling for Consistent Fuel Supply
The 18 gallon tank features a network of internal baffling that traps fuel around the pump inlet, preventing it from sloshing away during hard cornering or sudden braking. This design maintains an even feed to the Walbro 255 pump under high G forces, reducing the risk of fuel starvation when the engine demands it most. By controlling fluid movement, the baffle system preserves stable combustion and steady throttle response, crucial for spirited driving in a classic Chevy truck equipped with an LS powerplant.
High Volume Pump Supporting Up to 550 HP
An integrated Walbro 255 pump delivers 255 liters per hour of fuel flow, more than enough to sustain engines up to 550 horsepower without pressure drop. Its robust electric motor and precision impeller construction ensure continuous volume at wide open throttle, allowing aggressive tuning on EFI setups. This capacity upgrade bolsters reliability under load and supports performance upgrades without the need for external pumps or complex plumbing.
Custom Frame Mount Fit for 1967 to 1972 Chevy Trucks
Engineered specifically for late sixties Chevy pickups, the tank contours precisely to the rear frame rails for a secure underframe installation with minimal trimming. The side fill neck positions the fuel entry point for easy access, letting you refuel without lifting a bed panel. This bespoke approach yields a factory style appearance and quiet operation, ensuring the tank remains firmly in place over rough roads.
Precision Sending Unit for Accurate Gauge Readings
Equipped with a zero to ninety ohm sending unit, the tank works seamlessly with original fuel gauges, eliminating the need for adapters or aftermarket clusters. Calibration matches factory resistance curves, delivering precise level indications from empty to full. This attention to detail means you retain the classic dash look and enjoy reliable fuel monitoring on long drives.
