1953-1954 Chevy EFI Fuel Tank Kit with Stock Capacity and 255 LPH Pump
If your restoration calls for an LS or LT engine in a 1953-54 Chevrolet and you need reliable delivery without fabricating new mounting points, this EFI fuel tank kit with a 255 LPH pump preserves the factory 18 gallon volume while meeting modern injector demands. Engineers designed the internal pump placement to minimize vapour lock and heat soak, ensuring stable pressure under varying driving conditions. Installation follows factory frame points and includes all necessary hardware plus clear instructions, so chassis modifications are kept to a minimum. By blending period correct capacity with proven performance hardware, the tank maintains authenticity and supports smooth calibration of the fuel system.
Pump Placement Inside the Tank Ensuring Stable Pressure
The decision to locate the Walbro pump module fully within the fuel tank is critical for maintaining consistent delivery pressure under varied operating conditions. By submerging the pump in fuel, heat soak from engine bay temperatures is greatly reduced, which in turn prevents vapor lock and maintains a more uniform flow rate when you demand power. This arrangement also allows the pump to draw colder fuel from below the outlet, lowering the risk of cavitation at high rpm. As a result, throttle response remains sharp from idle through full load and fuel pressure spikes or drops are virtually eliminated. This setup delivers reliable support for modern fuel injectors without compromising the classic underbody layout.
Powder Coated Steel Tank for Maximum Corrosion Protection
The replacement tank is crafted from heavy gauge steel that is precisely formed to preserve the factory eighteen gallon capacity. Each unit receives a robust powder coat finish that bonds to the metal surface, creating a barrier against moisture, salt, and road debris. This protective layer extends service life by resisting rust, chipping, and chemical exposure that typically attack bare steel over time. Inside, smooth weld seams minimize turbulence and help prevent sediment buildup around the pump inlet. The result is a durable shell that maintains structural integrity and appearance season after season, all while fitting seamlessly into the original mounting area.
Factory Frame Alignment Simplifies Installation and Service
Every component in this fuel tank kit has been engineered for direct alignment with the factory frame points on 1953 through 1954 Chevrolet models, so no chassis modification is required. The assembly includes the fuel module, sending unit, filler neck, vent filter, straps, gaskets and all mounting hardware. Detailed instructions guide the installer through each step, from securing the tank to routing the fuel lines and vent hoses. Clearances around the driveshaft and suspension remain unchanged, preserving ground clearance and ease of future inspections. This approach ensures a straightforward swap that focuses resources on EFI calibration rather than metal fabrication.
