1968-1970 Chevy El Camino LS Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
When swapping an LS engine into a late sixties El Camino, the stock fuel tank struggles to maintain pressure under heavy acceleration and sustained loads. The 1968 to 1970 El Camino EFI Fuel Tank Kit with a 255 LPH pump addresses this need by providing consistent flow for engines up to 550 horsepower. Its corrosion resistant galvanized steel shell contours precisely to the A Body frame rails of 1968 to 1970 El Camino and aligns with factory mounting points to eliminate trimming or filler plates. Inside the reservoir the pump sits at the lowest point to reduce fuel starvation during spirited cornering.
Exact Contour Matching for 1968 to 1970 A Body Frames
This fuel tank shell is formed using period CAD data to replicate the original floor pan curves of late sixties El Caminos. By mirroring factory frame rails and mounting points, the design eliminates any need for trimming or filler plates, ensuring a drop-in fit that protects ground clearance and maintains correct alignment of brake and exhaust lines. Installers benefit from a seamless attachment process, with pre aligned holes that guide each bolt and strap into place. The precise contouring also preserves underbody integrity, reducing the risk of vibration and leaks under load. In practice, this means faster installation times and a reliable foundation for modern engine swaps.
Galvanized Steel Shell Built for Corrosion Protection
A heavy gauge steel tank receives a full zinc galvanizing treatment that guards against rust from moisture, road salt, and gasoline additives. This barrier covers exterior walls, weld seams, and interior surfaces to prevent pitting that can trap debris or damage pump screens. With a smooth interior finish, contaminants are less likely to adhere, simplifying routine inspections and filter changes. Over time, the coating inhibits flaking that could clog lines or harm injector components, resulting in years of dependable service in humid or winter-salt environments. Owners gain confidence knowing the tank's structure remains sound and leak-free.
Integrated Pump Module Engineered for Stable 550 HP Flow
The internal assembly houses a 255 LPH Walbro pump, sending unit, and vent filter within a single module positioned at the tank's lowest point. This strategic placement keeps the pump submerged during hard acceleration, steep inclines, or spirited cornering, preventing fuel starvation when demand peaks. Matched to support engine output up to 550 horsepower, the unit delivers consistent pressure and flow regardless of driving conditions. By containing all components inside one housing, external hoses and fittings are reduced, lowering leak risk and simplifying servicing. Technicians appreciate the clean access through a single opening, which accelerates routine maintenance.
All-In-One Kit Simplifying Every Step of Installation
This comprehensive package includes the pump module, tank straps, filler neck, gaskets, vent hardware, and all mounting bolts needed for a complete swap. Each strap bracket and flange is predrilled to match factory frame holes, guiding installers through precise orientation without extra measuring or drilling. Step-by-step instructions outline welding, sealing, and torque specifications, ensuring a professional result whether in a home garage or performance shop. By consolidating every necessary component in one box, builders avoid trips to the parts store and minimize downtime. The outcome is a clean underbody appearance and trouble-free operation from the moment the tank is filled.
