1971-1972 Chevy El Camino LS EFI Fuel Tank with 255 LPH Pump
When retrofitting a 1971 to 1972 Chevy El Camino with an LS engine your stock fuel tank often falls short under aggressive driving and tight clearance angles. This EFI tank kit combines a 255 LPH Walbro module with a notched tank design that aligns with A Body frame rails to avoid contact with exhaust pipes and wide tire or suspension travel. Each tank drops into the original mounting brackets and uses sealed connectors for leak free service under hard acceleration and cornering. The arrangement keeps the pump inlet low for steady fuel pressure to support up to 550 hp without air ingestion and maintains stock ride height without any frame cutting.
Precision Notched Geometry for A Body Chassis Clearance
The fuel tank features a precisely cut notch that aligns with 1971 to 1972 El Camino frame rails and exhaust routing. By matching the contour of the A Body chassis this design clears wide tire travel and pipe bends without any frame modification. It also keeps hot exhaust sources away from the main fuel volume to reduce temperature rise during spirited driving on the street or strip. Because the shape follows original mounting points the kit preserves factory ride height and suspension geometry. Installers can drop the tank into stock brackets with confidence that no trimming or rewiring is needed.
Sealed 255 LPH Pump Module for Reliable Pressure Delivery
The in tank 255 LPH Walbro module maintains steady fuel pressure under the most demanding driving conditions and supports engines producing up to 550 horsepower. Locating the pump inlet at the lowest point inside the tank prevents air ingestion during hard cornering or steep inclines so throttle response remains sharp and predictable. All electrical connectors and fluid fittings are sealed to protect against leaks and voltage interruptions over time. By ensuring uniform rail pressure from idle through full throttle this pump delivers uninterrupted fuel flow for both daily use and performance applications. Drivers will notice consistent power delivery without hesitation during acceleration.
Comprehensive Kit Components Simplify Installation Process
This complete EFI tank kit includes the pump module, sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and all necessary hardware to match original El Camino bracket locations. Each component is preassembled or sized to work with stock wiring harness fasteners and fuel line routes so installers avoid extra trips to the parts store. A step by step instruction guide walks through tank removal, module installation and leak testing to ensure a clean underbody fitment. With original bracket points retained installers save time and effort while achieving a professional grade result. No trial fitting is required and the finished installation looks as if it came from the factory.
Robust American Steel Tank with TIG Welded Seams
Manufactured in the USA from high grade steel and corrosion resistant coating the tank withstands constant fuel agitation and exposure to road elements. All seams are formed using TIG welding methods that produce uniform joints resistant to cracking during thermal cycling. Prior to shipment each tank undergoes pressure and leak testing to verify integrity under harsh conditions. Pump modules are bench calibrated for precise flow output over thousands of operating hours. Domestic production also provides reliable access to certified replacement parts and technical support for maintenance or future upgrades.
