1953-1954 Chevy EFI Fuel Tank Kit Stock Capacity 255 LPH Pump
When transplanting an LS or LT engine into a 1953 or 1954 Chevy chassis you need a drop in fuel tank that preserves original capacity and sustains a consistent 255 liter per hour flow. This EFI fuel tank kit installs in the factory fill location without any frame rail alterations or custom brackets. A powder coated steel shell shields against corrosion and road debris while immersion cooling around the Walbro module keeps pump noise to a minimum under varying load. Engines up to 550 horsepower avoid fuel starvation while the system maintains EFI fuel delivery from idle through wide open throttle.
Powder Coated Steel Shell Ensuring Corrosion Resistance
The fuel tank housing is fabricated from heavy gauge steel and finished with a robust powder coat that resists salt, moisture, and road debris throughout seasonal use. This protective layer prevents corrosion from forming on the shell surface, preserving the original capacity and contour of 1953-1954 Chevy underbodies. By maintaining a sealed barrier against pitting and surface damage, the steel shell also limits the risk of contaminants entering the fuel system. Its rigid construction withstands vibration and impact loads encountered during spirited driving or daily road travel. Over time, this design delivers long lasting protection without compromising ground clearance or the vehicle's classic stance. Installers benefit from a component that retains both function and period-correct appearance under harsh conditions.
Walbro 255 LPH Pump Module Ensuring EFI Reliability
At the core of the kit is a Walbro module rated for 255 liters per hour, capable of supporting engines up to 550 horsepower without risk of fuel starvation. Immersion cooling keeps the pump motor submerged in fuel, reducing thermal stress and extending service intervals. Fuel surrounding the unit also dampens vibration and motor noise, creating a quieter driving environment and minimizing cabin distractions. The consistent flow profile resists pressure fluctuations during hard cornering or rapid throttle transitions, ensuring precise air-fuel ratios and reliable operation across all engine speeds. This stability is critical when tuning engine management systems to deliver smooth off-idle response and crisp acceleration on demand.
Precision Fitment with Factory Fill Location
Engineered to match the factory fill opening, the tank drops directly into place without any frame rail modifications or custom bracket work. All mounting flanges align with original attachment points, eliminating the need to alter ground clearance or modify body seams. Stock fuel lines, vent hoses, and electrical plugs follow existing routing paths, making the transition seamless for installers familiar with classic Chevy layouts. The filler neck geometry is pre-bent to ensure correct angle and reach, removing guesswork and potential clearance issues. By retaining the original underbody profile, the kit preserves the chassis stance and visual integrity of the restoration. Installers can focus on calibration rather than fitment challenges.
Complete Installation Kit for Streamlined Assembly
This single source solution includes every necessary component for a full EFI fuel tank conversion: 255 LPH pump, in-tank module, sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets, and mounting hardware. A clear, step by step installation guide walks through tank removal, wiring connections, and hose installations so even those new to EFI retrofits can proceed with confidence. By consolidating all parts in one kit, it removes the hassle of mismatched fittings and repeated trips to supply stores. Installers complete the system in a single session and move directly to engine tuning and road testing. The organized packaging and detailed instructions reduce assembly time and ensure a professional result every time.
