1953-1954 Chevy EFI Fuel Tank Kit with Stock Capacity and 255 LPH Pump
When swapping an LS or LT engine into a 1953-1954 Chevy the EFI fuel tank kit retains the factory 18 gallon capacity while supplying stable flow with its 255 LPH pump. Installation follows the original frame mounting points and includes a precision sending unit plate straps and gaskets to maintain chassis alignment without extra fabrication. Internal pump placement reduces heat soak and prevents vapor lock by keeping the module fully submerged in the cool fuel bath so pressure holds steady during rapid throttle transitions. Finally this kit preserves the factory fuel sending unit connection for accurate gauge feedback and simplifies calibration so you can focus on tuning rather than fitting mismatched parts.
Submerged Pump Design for Steady Fuel Delivery
The in-tank pump module positions the 255 LPH unit fully beneath the fuel level to minimize heat soak and eliminate vapor lock during spirited driving. By drawing fuel from a recessed inlet below the main outlet, the module avoids cavitation at higher engine speeds and sustains consistent pressure under rapid throttle changes. This arrangement smooths flow into the EFI rail so injectors maintain precise timing and atomization even under load. Keeping the pump cool in a continuous fuel bath also extends service life and reduces noise without external brackets or extra plumbing.
Heavy Gauge Steel Tank with Robust Powder Coat Barrier
Formed to match the factory 18-gallon profile, the replacement tank uses thick steel alloy to preserve stock capacity and maintain strength under stress. Both interior and exterior surfaces receive a dense powder coating that locks out moisture, road salt, and chemical contaminants. Internally, weld seams are ground flush and contours are optimized to prevent debris buildup around the pump inlet. The complete finish undergoes pretreatment and oven curing to ensure uniform adhesion and long term resistance to pitting or rust.
Factory Frame Alignment for Seamless Fitment
This fuel tank conversion attaches directly to the original frame mounting points on 1953 and 1954 Chevy chassis, eliminating the need for bracket fabrication or additional welding. Included straps, brackets, gaskets and hardware mirror factory geometry so ground clearance and driveline angles remain unchanged. Detailed instructions guide installers through securing the tank, routing fuel and vent lines, and refitting the filler neck for a flawless restoration. By maintaining the stock underbody layout, suspension and exhaust components retain full service access and inspection intervals stay on schedule.
Complete Fuel System Kit for LS and LT Engine Conversions
Every component required for a plug and play EFI upgrade is bundled in this kit, including the 255 LPH pump module, fuel sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and fasteners. Each part is engineered to integrate seamlessly within the sealed environment to maintain consistent pressure and eliminate leaks. This comprehensive approach spares builders from sourcing mismatched items and reduces installation time. With all elements designed for compatibility, focus can remain on calibration and tuning rather than parts procurement.
Count on precise fitment and consistent fuel delivery in every drive. For the same item but the 255 LPH pump tank kit which offers less horsepower see our 1953-1954 Chevy EFI Fuel Tank Kit - Stock Capacity - 255 LPH Pump.
