1968-1970 Chevy El Camino LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
Swapping an LS into a late sixties El Camino often pushes the original tank beyond its design, and this EFI fuel tank kit with a 255 LPH pump resolves that by delivering consistent flow for engines up to 550 horsepower. A sturdy tank shell uses corrosion resistant galvanized steel and contours precisely to 1968 to 1970 El Camino A Body frame rails without trimming or filler plates. Included straps, gaskets and a filler neck line up with factory mounting points to make installation straightforward. Positioned inside the reservoir, the 255 LPH pump sits at the lowest point to reduce fuel starvation under hard acceleration or spirited cornering.
Exact Fit for 1968 to 1970 A Body El Camino Frames
The tank shell is shaped to mirror the floor pan curves of the original chassis, ensuring a snug fit without trimming or filler plates. It aligns precisely with factory mounting points and frame rails so lines and connectors install smoothly. By preserving ground clearance and factory envelope dimensions, the design avoids interference with brake lines or exhaust components. This faithful replication uses period CAD data to eliminate fitment issues and prevent leakage under load. Installers benefit from a drop in fit process that maintains underbody integrity. The result is a seamless foundation for modern LS fuel delivery systems below the cargo bed.
Galvanized Steel Shell for Long Lasting Corrosion Resistance
A heavy gauge steel body receives a zinc barrier that protects against rust from road salt, moisture and fuels. This coating covers weld seams and interior walls to guard against pitting or flaking, which can clog filters or damage pumps. With a smooth internal finish, debris accumulation is minimized and inspection of the tank is simplified. Owners benefit from extended service life even in humid climates or harsh winter conditions. Routine checks remain straightforward thanks to visible coating integrity and early leak detection. Ultimately this steel shell forms a durable base for reliable fueling.
In Tank Pump Assembly Engineered for Stable 550 HP Operation
The integrated module houses a 255 LPH Walbro pump, sending unit and vent filter in a single housing mounted at the lowest reservoir point. This positioning helps prevent fuel starvation during rapid acceleration or cornering by keeping the pump submerged. Matching pump flow and internal resistance ensures consistent pressure for engine output up to 550 horsepower. Internal mounting also reduces external plumbing and potential leak sources, while enabling service access through the same opening as the sending unit. Technicians report faster removal and reinstallation for maintenance tasks. This unified solution supports modern LS or LT engines with dependable response under load.
Comprehensive Kit Layout Simplifying Every Stage of Installation
All required parts arrive in one box to streamline assembly, removing extra parts runs and guesswork. The package includes tank straps, a filler neck flange, gaskets, vent hardware and the complete pump module so builders follow a single guide from start to finish. Each bracket is pre drilled to align with factory frame holes, while the filler neck and pump flange feature tabs for correct orientation. Step by step instructions cover welding, torquing and sealing practices to factory specifications. Both professional shops and home builders gain confidence from this organized approach and precise component matching. The outcome is a clean, factory quality fuel system upgrade without custom fabrication.
