1971-1972 Buick Skylark LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit
When you're fitting an LS engine into a classic 1971-1972 Skylark your fuel system choice can make or break your swap project. This EFI tank kit with its 255 LPH pump delivers consistent flow under hard acceleration and cornering thanks to internal baffling technology that keeps fuel at the pickup. Installation is straightforward with a direct fit replacement that accommodates an LS or LT conversion without major frame modifications. Accurate readings from the included level sender help you monitor fuel usage and stay ahead of any low fuel situations.
Advanced Internal Baffling for Uninterrupted Fuel Delivery
The built in baffling system inside the tank maintains a steady supply of fuel at the pickup point during hard acceleration and cornering. By channeling fuel back towards the pump inlet, this design prevents starvation and pressure fluctuations that can cause engine hesitation. Enthusiasts will appreciate how consistent flow is maintained even under aggressive driving that pushes fuel levels to the limits of the tank. This attention to fluid dynamics ensures the LS engine receives a reliable fuel feed every lap or back road run.
High Flow 255 LPH Walbro Pump for Up to 550 Horsepower
The Walbro pump included with this kit is rated at 255 liters per hour, supporting engine outputs up to 550 hp with ease. Submerged within the tank, the unit benefits from fuel cooling and reduced noise compared to external setups. Its proven design offers precise flow control and rapid response to changes in fuel demand, crucial for modern LS conversions. With this pump in place, you can push the power envelope without worrying about drop off under peak load.
Precision Fitment and Simplified LS Conversion Installation
This fuel tank is engineered specifically for the 1971-1972 Skylark body shell, matching original mounting points and filler neck location for a seamless replacement. The direct bolt in fitment removes the need for frame cutting or elaborate adapter plates, saving hours of fabrication. All necessary straps, gaskets and hardware are supplied, and the sending unit installs at the same time for an all in one upgrade. Whether you're a professional builder or a home enthusiast, the streamlined process minimizes the risk of errors and accelerates project completion.
Durable Galvanized Steel Construction with Silver Finish
Fabricated from heavy duty galvanized steel, the tank resists corrosion from road chemicals and ethanol blends over many seasons of use. A powder coated silver finish adds a protective barrier against moisture while maintaining a clean, period correct look under the car. The robust structure stands up to impacts and vibration encountered on daily drives or track days, ensuring the system remains leak free. Beyond durability, the aesthetic finish complements the chassis components when the vehicle is on display or undergoing maintenance.
