1968-1970 Chevy El Camino LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
Outfitting a classic El Camino with a modern LS powerplant often exposes the stock tank's inability to sustain factory EFI flow and pressure, and this 1968 to 1970 El Camino EFI fuel tank kit addresses that gap head on with its integrated 255 LPH pump. Designed to fit the A Body chassis without trimming or clearance issues, it uses a galvanized steel shell that resists corrosion and mates precisely with existing frame rails. Installation is simplified by the inclusion of straps, filters, gaskets and a filler neck that line up with factory mounting points. Builders gain reliable EFI fuel delivery suitable for engines up to 550 horsepower and can move forward without custom fuel system fabrication, whether running LS or LT setups.
Precise Contouring for A Body El Camino Fuel System Integration
The fuel tank shell is shaped to follow the original floor pan curves of the 1968 to 1970 Chevy El Camino A Body chassis without the need for trimming or filler plates. This precise match preserves under body clearance and maintains the factory style appearance while adding capacity for electronic fuel injection. It aligns exactly with existing mounting pads and frame rails so fuel lines and electrical connectors slide into place without modification. Designers used period CAD data to refine each bend and flange so that no shims are required for fitment. The contour retains trunk and exhaust clearance while safeguarding brake line routing against pinch points. With this level of control over shape and fit, installers avoid common issues such as seal leaks or body rub that can develop under load. By matching factory envelope dimensions, the system integrates seamlessly beneath the bed and keeps OEM chassis integrity intact.
Galvanized Steel Construction Ensuring Corrosion Resistance
The heavy gauge steel shell is galvanized with a zinc coating that forms a robust barrier against rust and chemical attack from road salts and moisture. This protective layer seals seams and welds at their source so the tank can endure years of service without corrosion induced failures. Inside the tank, the smooth zinc treated surface prevents debris build up and reduces the risk of clogged screens or pump damage. By guarding against pitting and interior corrosion, the design ensures that fuel flow remains consistent and free of contaminants. Owners enjoy peace of mind knowing that seasonal use in humid climates or harsh winter roads will not compromise the fuel reservoir. Routine maintenance is streamlined because the galvanized finish resists scale and makes leaks easy to detect at the first sign of wear. The result is a reliable base for delivering high volume fuel to modern LS EFI systems without endurance concerns.
Integrated EFI Fuel Pump Module for Stable High HP Demands
The integrated fuel pump module houses a 255 LPH Walbro pump, sending unit and vent filter in a single assembly that lives inside the tank opening. Positioning the pump at the lowest point in the reservoir reduces the chance of fuel starvation during hard acceleration or cornering. This unified module also minimizes external plumbing and potential leak points since all connections remain inside the sealed shell. Rated to support engine output up to 550 horsepower, it maintains stable pressure across a wide operating range. Precise EFI signal response is achieved because the pump and filter are matched for volume and resistance within the same housing. Technicians report faster pump removal and servicing since the entire module slides out with the sending unit intact. The result is smooth throttle response and reliable high load operation in both LS and LT engine swaps.
All In One Kit Design for Streamlined Installation
Every necessary component arrives in one box to streamline installation and remove the need for extra parts runs. The package includes tank straps, a filler neck, gaskets, a vent filter, hardware and the complete pump module so builders can follow a single reference guide. Each strap and mounting bracket is pre drilled and formed to latch onto factory frame holes with no drilling required in the chassis. Alignment tabs on the filler neck and pump flange ensure correct orientation on the first attempt. Clear instructions guide installers through each step from welding the filler neck flange to torquing straps to factory spec values. Both professional shops and DIY enthusiasts will appreciate the time saved and the confidence that comes from a controlled assembly process.
