1956-1962 Chevy Corvette EFI Fuel Tank Kit with Stock Capacity and 255 LPH Pump
If you are installing an LS or LT engine in a 1956 to 1962 Corvette this EFI fuel tank kit with its 255 LPH pump preserves the stock capacity while delivering reliable injection flow to meet everyday driving demands. This module drops neatly into the factory tank shells allowing you to reuse the original mounting points and filler neck without custom fabrication. By fully submerging both pump and sender assembly inside the shell noise and aeration are kept to a minimum during spirited cornering. A calibrated float and inline vent filter maintain accurate gauge readings and guard against debris in the fuel stream. Together they form a plug and play solution that respects Corvette heritage and accelerates installation for enthusiasts focused on authenticity.
Precision Fit Installation for 1956 to 1962 Corvette Tanks
The fuel tank kit is engineered to match the original geometry of 1956 to 1962 Corvettes so you can reuse factory mounting points and tank straps without custom modifications. The filler neck and body opening align exactly as they did from the factory to preserve the vehicle's classic exterior lines and avoid cutting or welding. Correct alignment also ensures sealing gaskets seat consistently, eliminating potential leak paths and reducing the risk of fuel odor in the cabin. Installers appreciate that the module drops into the shell using stock hardware, cutting labor time and preventing headaches during assembly. This precise fit approach also maintains chassis integrity by avoiding stress on the frame rail and preserving undercarriage clearance. By keeping the Corvette unaltered, you retain both the structural profile and the authenticity that collectors demand.
High Output Walbro Pump Supporting Supercharged Performance
At 400 liters per hour the included Walbro pump supplies steady fuel flow to supercharged engines and applications exceeding 550 hp, preventing lean spikes during rapid acceleration or sustained high speed. Its internal design features fast pressure recovery after throttle lift, which keeps delivery consistent under varied load conditions and supports quick transients at track or street speeds. The pump's robust construction resists cavitation and wear, translating into lasting operation even under hard use. Its proven performance in racing scenarios offers confidence that fuel starvation will not interrupt spirited cornering or hard launches. By matching flow capacity to high output demands, the pump ensures injectors remain fully primed and responsive. This capability means you can push the engine to its limits without sacrificing reliability or risk of damage.
Submerged Module Design for Quiet Cool Operation
By placing both the pump and sending unit inside the tank shell, this module operates with minimal noise compared to external configurations, enhancing in cabin comfort during daily drives. Submersion in fuel provides passive cooling that prevents overheating and extends pump life, even when pushed in hot ambient conditions or extended track sessions. The direct draw from the lowest point in the shell also prevents aeration and ensures stable pressure during aggressive cornering or sudden stops. This design keeps fuel delivery smooth and whisper quiet, matching the refinement expected in classic Corvette models. The internal arrangement also limits exposure to external debris and reduces vibration transfer, further protecting pump components. Overall, it creates a durable solution that blends performance with stealthy operation.
Integrated Fuel Level Sending with Vent Filtration
The calibrated fuel level sending unit delivers accurate readings that eliminate range anxiety and prevent unexpected runouts on long journeys. An internal vent filter captures airborne debris before it can reach pump or injector components, keeping the entire EFI circuit clean and reducing wear. Together these elements form a protective loop that maintains fuel quality and gauge accuracy under varied driving conditions. The kit includes tank straps, filler neck, gaskets and all necessary hardware to streamline installation and avoid parts hunts. This bundled approach means you receive everything needed in a single package, cutting assembly steps and ensuring component compatibility. As a result, the conversion process is both efficient and reliable for enthusiasts focused on authenticity.
