LS Fuel Tank Kit for 1971-1972 Chevy El Camino A-Body with 255 LPH Pump
Retrofitting a 1971 to 1972 Chevy El Camino A Body chassis with an LS engine demands reliable flow and space clearance that this EFI fuel tank kit delivers. By combining a Walbro 255 LPH module with a precision cut tank the assembly fits original mounting brackets without grinding or trimming. This configuration maintains the pump inlet at the lowest point to prevent air ingestion under hard cornering and supports engines up to 550 hp with steady rail pressure through every throttle position. Installers will appreciate that the tank seats into factory strap points for the A Body frame while sealed connectors ensure leak free performance and the notched contour preserves stock ride height.
Precision Notched Design for Chassis and Exhaust Clearance
The notched tank geometry is engineered to follow the contours of the 1971–1972 A-Body frame rails, ensuring full clearance for both wide tire travel and exhaust routing. By precisely matching the original El Camino undercarriage profile, this design eliminates the need for grinding or trimming during installation. Keeping the fuel volume away from hot exhaust pipes not only prevents heat soak but also preserves fuel temperature under spirited driving conditions. Because the tank seats into factory strap locations, the ride height and suspension geometry remain factory correct, delivering a seamless integration with the stock chassis. Installers can simply drop the assembly into place and secure it, knowing that any potential interference points have already been resolved in the factory formed notch.
Sealed 255 LPH Pump Module Ensuring Consistent Fuel Pressure
This in-tank Walbro 255 LPH module is calibrated to support engines producing up to 550 horsepower without hiccups in flow or pressure. Placed at the lowest point inside the tank, the pump inlet virtually eliminates air ingestion during hard cornering or when climbing steep grades, so throttle response stays sharp from idle to wide open throttle. All electrical plugs and fluid fittings feature sealed connectors, guarding against vapor leaks and maintaining voltage stability in harsh underbody environments. The result is uniform rail pressure that ensures reliable start-up, smooth cruising, and predictable performance under demanding loads. Drivers will notice immediate delivery of fuel on demand, whether cruising city streets or accelerating toward the finish line.
Engineered Kit Components for Streamlined Installation
Every component in this EFI tank kit is designed to work together and fit directly into the original El Camino bracket locations without custom fabrication. The sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets, and all necessary hardware arrive preselected for compatibility with the stock wiring harness and fuel line routing. A detailed instruction guide walks through removal of the old tank, installation of the pump module, and leak testing of fittings to guarantee a professional underbody fit. By eliminating guesswork and extra parts searches, installers can complete the swap in less time and with fewer headaches. The straightforward assembly looks and functions as if it rolled off the production line, delivering both form and function.
Durable Steel Tank with TIG Welded Seams
Manufactured in the USA from high-grade steel and finished with a protective corrosion resistant coating, this EFI tank is built to withstand constant fuel agitation and road debris exposure. All seams are precision TIG welded to create uniform joints that resist cracking or fatigue during frequent thermal cycles. Before shipment, each tank undergoes rigorous pressure and leak testing to verify integrity under real-world conditions. This robust construction offers long service life and peace of mind for drivers pushing their LS installations to the limit. Furthermore, domestic production ensures easy access to certified replacement parts and expert technical support for maintenance or future upgrades.
