LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump for 1968-1970 Chevy El Camino
When installing an LS engine in a classic El Camino, fuel delivery becomes mission critical and the 1968 through 1970 El Camino EFI Fuel Tank Kit includes a 255 LPH pump to maintain consistent pressure under heavy acceleration. Formed from galvanized steel that contours precisely to A Body frame rails, this assembly aligns with factory mounting points so no cutting or filler hardware is needed. By positioning the pump at the lowest point inside the reservoir and delivering enough flow for engines up to 550 horsepower, it prevents starvation during spirited cornering or steep inclines. Technicians appreciate the cleaner installation process and the elimination of external hoses that often lead to leaks and service delays.
Precise Tank Shell Contouring for Classic A Body Frames
The shell of this fuel tank is formed from heavy gauge steel using period accurate data to replicate the original floor pan curves of a late sixties El Camino. By matching the shape of the frame rails and aligning with factory mounting points the design eliminates any need for trimming or filler plates. This direct fit maintains ground clearance and preserves the correct routing of brake lines and exhaust pipes. Installers benefit from a guided bolt pattern that secures each strap bracket in the exact factory location. In practice this precision reduces installation time and ensures a stable platform for modern engine swaps without risking leaks or cabin intrusion.
Galvanized Steel Protection Against Corrosion and Debris
The fuel tank shell features a full zinc galvanizing treatment that covers exterior walls weld seams and interior surfaces to guard against rust from moisture road salt and fuel additives. This barrier prevents pitting that could trap debris and compromise the screen on the pump intake. A smooth interior finish also reduces the chance of sediment adhering after weeks of use and simplifies routine inspection and cleaning. Over time the coating resists flaking and maintains structural integrity for years of service in challenging climates. Owners can trust that internal components remain protected from contamination that might lead to flow restriction or component damage.
Integrated Pump Module Placement for Reliable Fuel Delivery
This kit houses a 255 LPH Walbro pump a sending unit and a vent filter within a single module installed at the tank low point. Locating the pump at the bottom of the reservoir keeps it submerged during spirited cornering steep inclines or hard acceleration to prevent fuel starvation. Matched to support engine output up to 550 horsepower the assembly delivers consistent pressure and flow under all driving conditions. By containing all components inside one housing the design reduces the number of external hoses and fittings that can develop leaks. Servicing is streamlined thanks to a single access opening that lets technicians replace or inspect parts without removing the entire tank.
Complete Kit Design Streamlining Every Step of Installation
The complete kit includes a pump module sending unit tank straps filler neck vent filter gaskets and all mounting hardware needed for a full installation. Each strap bracket and flange arrives predrilled to match factory frame holes so installers can quickly guide bolts into place without extra measuring or drilling. Clear instructions detail proper sealing methods bolt torque values and recommended welding steps to achieve a professional finish in any shop or home garage. Builders avoid multiple trips to parts stores and reduce downtime by having every component in one package. The result is a neat underbody appearance and reliable operation from the moment the tank is filled with fuel.
