1971-1972 Buick Skylark LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
If you are tackling an LS swap in your 1971 or 1972 Buick Skylark and need a reliable source of fuel under spirited driving conditions, the 1971-1972 Skylark EFI Fuel Tank Kit with a 255 LPH pump delivers the consistency required to keep your engine running cleanly. Installation follows factory tank mounts and uses the stock filler neck opening to install without any cutting or frame alterations. With internal baffling that channels fuel to the pump during hard cornering, the kit maintains steady flow even under lateral loads. A precision sender aligns with the original tank opening to ensure accurate fuel level readings. The galvanized steel construction features a protective powder coat finish that resists corrosion and stands up to ethanol blends, offering lasting reliability for street or track use.
Custom Fit Integration for 1971 and 1972 Buick Skylark
This fuel tank kit is engineered to match the original frame rail geometry and filler neck location of 1971 and 1972 Buick Skylark models, providing a direct bolt in fit that requires no chassis modifications. By using the factory mounting points, installers benefit from precise alignment without the need for trial and error or custom brackets. The kit includes tank straps, gaskets, hardware and a filler neck assembly to complete the installation in one session, saving time and eliminating guesswork. The preservation of original clearance ensures that suspension components and brake lines remain undisturbed, allowing you to focus on EFI tuning rather than fabrication challenges.
Engineered Baffling for Consistent Fuel Delivery
Internal baffling channels are designed to control fuel movement under hard acceleration, braking and cornering, directing fluid back to the inlet so the engine never runs lean. This feature is critical in an LS swap application, where sudden lean conditions can trigger knock or throttle hesitation. The baffling geometry keeps the pump suction port submerged even during aggressive driving, maintaining uninterrupted flow to support responsive throttle transitions. By smoothing out pressure variations, the kit delivers steady engine performance whether you are cruising through city traffic or pushing the limits on a winding road.
Submerged 255 LPH Walbro Pump for Reliable Flow
The 255 liter per hour Walbro pump module is positioned inside the tank to benefit from natural fuel cooling, which reduces operating temperature and extends service life compared to external units. Rated to support engines up to 550 horsepower, this pump maintains stable fuel pressure during rapid throttle changes and sustained high load conditions. Immersion also acts as a sound dampener, cutting down on whine and vibration for a quieter ride. The design supports ethanol blends without degradation, ensuring consistent performance in modern high octane fuels.
Galvanized Steel Tank with Protective Powder Coating
Constructed from heavy gauge galvanized steel, the tank resists corrosion caused by moisture and ethanol fuels, providing a robust barrier against rust. A silver powder coat bonds to the treated surface, sealing weld seams and tank walls against abrasion and road salt exposure. This protective layer preserves structural integrity over many seasons of driving and washes off easily to maintain a fresh appearance. Reinforced mounting tabs resist bending under vibration and thermal cycles, giving you a reliable fuel reservoir for both street and track use.
