LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit for 1970 Buick Skylark A-Body with 255 LPH Pump
Engine conversions on a 1970 Buick Skylark A Body often expose fuel starvation under sustained load and the 1970 Skylark EFI Fuel Tank Kit - 255 LPH Pump addresses this with a purpose built steel tank and a durable Walbro unit. By aligning with factory mounting points the installation requires no floor pan cutting or bracket fabrication. An integrated mesh vent filter traps debris before it can reach the pump inlet and preserve consistent pressure. Complete hardware and a pre assembled sending unit keep projects moving smoothly and deliver steady fuel flow for up to 550 hp LS engines.
Precision 255 LPH Pump for Sustained 550 HP Demand
The 255 LPH Walbro fuel pump at the heart of this kit is engineered to meet the rigors of LS engines making up to 550 horsepower without risk of fuel starvation. Its precision impeller design ensures a stable flow rate even under prolonged wide open throttle, while the robust motor housing resists heat buildup and mechanical stress. Careful attention to electrical connections minimizes voltage drop and preserves peak performance during long street or track sessions. Technicians benefit from a pump that maintains pressure balance in modern EFI systems, translating into sharper throttle response and consistent power delivery in high-load scenarios.
Purpose Built Steel Tank with Direct Mount Fit
This tank is formed from heavy-gauge steel to resist damage and maintain shape under the weight of fuel while preserving factory mounting geometry on the 1970 Buick Skylark A-Body frame. Every strap bracket and spacer matches original dimensions so installers can align the unit without floor pan modifications or custom bracket fabrication. The direct fit approach retains ride height and chassis integrity, reducing labor time and eliminating guesswork. For home builders and professional shops alike, this means a predictable installation that moves quickly from bench mock-up to road testing.
Integrated Mesh Vent Filter Preserves Fuel Integrity
A stainless steel mesh vent filter is placed in the vent line to trap airborne debris and internal tank particles before they reach the pump inlet. By ensuring proper air exchange during fill and purge cycles, the filter helps maintain a stable environment inside the tank and prevents vapor lock under varied ambient conditions. This barrier extends service intervals and keeps the pump operating at peak efficiency by blocking contaminants that can impair internal components. The simple design offers a critical boost in system reliability during sustained high-speed runs.
Complete Hardware Kit Streamlines Installation Workflow
All components required for a seamless LS conversion are included, from the sending unit preassembled on the pump module to the filler neck and matching gaskets. Straps, bolts and spacers are engineered to exact OEM measurements, removing the need to source missing items or adapt off-the-shelf fasteners. The ready-to-install package also features a precision-formed filler neck that aligns with the original vent hose routing, preserving a clean underbody layout. Builders save hours on fitment and plumbing, keeping projects on schedule and minimizing potential leak paths associated with aftermarket parts.
