1956-1962 Chevy Corvette Stock Capacity EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
If you plan to install an LS or LT engine in a 1956 to 1962 Corvette for street cruising this stock capacity EFI fuel tank kit with its 255 LPH pump delivers a steady supply of fuel under typical driving loads. It mounts directly into the original tank shells requiring minimal metal work and aligns with factory openings to preserve the Corvette's classic lines. The internal pump and sending unit sit fully submerged to reduce noise and prevent aeration during cornering. A calibrated sending float and integrated vent filter round out the kit to keep fuel clean and gauge readings accurate on every run.
Precision Matched Fit for 1956 to 1962 Corvette Tanks
The form fit design of this EFI fuel tank kit mirrors the original tank geometry of 1956 to 1962 Corvettes, allowing you to reuse factory mounting points and straps with virtually no metal alteration. By following the stock contours, the filler neck aligns precisely with the body opening, preserving the Corvette's classic exterior lines and reducing installation time. This approach not only maintains chassis integrity but also minimizes the risk of leaks by ensuring sealing gaskets seat correctly. Installers find that a plug and play upgrade like this one cuts labor hours and avoids fabrication headaches, making it ideal for enthusiasts who value authenticity and reliability.
400 LPH Walbro Pump Capacity for Demanding Performance
At 400 liters per hour, the high-output Walbro pump in this kit meets the fuel demands of supercharged engines and those exceeding 550 hp, preventing lean conditions during rapid acceleration or sustained high rpm operation. Its advanced internal design recovers pressure quickly after throttle lifts, ensuring consistent delivery whether cruising or cornering hard. This level of flow has been proven in racing applications, offering confidence that fuel-starve episodes are avoided under extreme load. The pump's robust construction also resists cavitation, giving you reliable performance over extended track sessions and spirited street use.
Efficient Internal Pump Arrangement for Quiet Cool Operation
By situating both the pump and sending unit inside the tank, noise is significantly reduced compared to external configurations, enhancing cabin comfort on daily drives. Submersion in fuel provides passive cooling that prevents heat build up and extends pump life even under harsh conditions. Drawing directly from the lowest point in the shell minimizes air ingestion during aggressive cornering or sudden stops, so pressure remains stable. This integrated approach delivers a smooth, whisper-quiet fuel flow cycle that complements the refinement expected in a classic Corvette model.
Integrated Fuel Level Sending and Vent Filtration for System Protection
The calibrated sending unit within the module offers precise real-time fuel level readings, eliminating guessing and reducing the risk of unexpected runouts during long stretches. An internal vent filter captures airborne debris before it can enter the system, keeping fuel clean and safeguarding pump and injector components from premature wear. These combined elements create a closed-loop of monitoring and protection, ensuring that every journey begins with confidence in fuel quality and gauge accuracy. As a complete EFI conversion kit, it also includes straps, a filler neck, gaskets and hardware to streamline your upgrade without the need to hunt for additional parts.
