EFI Fuel Tank Kit for 1956-1962 Chevy Corvette with Stock Capacity and 255 LPH Pump
When converting a 1956-62 Corvette to electronic fuel injection, maintaining factory tank shape and consistent flow becomes essential and this EFI Fuel Tank Kit replicates original capacity while supplying a 255 LPH pump for sustained engine demands. Molded to stock dimensions, the replacement unit mounts with genuine fixtures so no frame changes or custom brackets are required. It also integrates a sending unit calibrated for precise gauge readings and features an internal vent filter to keep contaminants out of the system under continuous operation.
Exact Fit Replicating Stock Tank Profile
The replacement tank is CNC crafted to match the original shape and mounting points of the 1956 through 1962 Corvette unit. This precision fit allows reuse of factory straps and brackets without drilling or frame modification, preserving chassis integrity and underbody clearance. Owners benefit from a drop in installation that aligns perfectly with existing fuel lines and filler neck. The period correct profile maintains the exterior floor pan contours and ensures a clean appearance under the rear body panel. By replicating factory geometry, the tank supports modern EFI hardware while keeping the classic Corvette look intact. This approach cuts installation time and avoids adaptation work.
Steady Pressure from 255 LPH Walbro Pump
A key component of this kit is the 255 liter per hour Walbro pump engineered to hold fuel pressure steady under demanding throttle conditions. Its high flow capacity supports engines up to 550 horsepower, preventing lean events during acceleration or sustained high rpm. Consistent delivery helps avoid surging or hesitation, resulting in predictable throttle response whether on the street or track. The pump's in tank location also reduces heat soak and vapor lock, enhancing reliability in hot environments. When paired with EFI regulators, this pump maintains precise pressure control for optimised fuel atomization and combustion. Drivers can count on smooth operation at any engine load.
Integrated In Tank Module Simplifies Assembly
This all in one pump module combines the fuel pump, sending unit and vent filter into a single assembly to reduce plumbing and wiring complexity. Preconfigured to factory specifications, the sending unit delivers accurate gauge readings without calibration or adjustment. By minimizing fittings and joins, the module design lowers the risk of leaks and streamlines service procedures. Technicians handle one component for both fuel delivery and level sensing, cutting labor time and potential errors. The unified design also ensures consistent electrical connections and protects the pump from external contaminants. This module approach delivers reliable performance from the first start.
Vent Filter Ensures Clean Fuel Under Load
Fuel quality is preserved by the built in vent filter that traps airborne debris entering through the tank breather. This protective barrier prevents particulate ingress that can clog the pump intake or damage internal components. Maintaining clean fuel supports stable combustion and avoids performance loss under extended or high rpm operation. The filter's placement ensures that only filtered air enters the tank, reducing the chance of contamination during cornering or bumpy conditions. As a result, maintenance intervals are extended and pump life is increased. Owners gain confidence that the system will perform reliably in all driving scenarios.
