1953-1954 Chevy EFI Fuel Tank Kit with Stock Capacity and 255 LPH Pump
The EFI fuel tank kit built for 1953 to 1954 Chevy models ensures you keep the original eighteen gallon capacity while supporting modern LS and LT engine swap requirements. Its internal pump design cuts down on heat soak and vapour lock by keeping the module fully submerged, so pressure remains steady even under demanding conditions. Installation uses the factory frame mounting points and includes all hardware and clear instructions, keeping chassis changes to a minimum. This solution provides reliable fuel delivery for smooth injector calibration and consistent performance.
In Tank Pump Integration and Pressure Stability
Embedding the Walbro 400 LPH pump module within the fuel tank reduces heat soak by ensuring the unit remains fully submerged in cooler liquid and prevents vapor lock under sustained load. Internal placement supports consistent feed by drawing from a reserve below the outlet and lowers the risk of cavitation at elevated engine speed. As a result fuel pressure remains steady during rapid throttle transitions and delivers a sharp response from idle through wide open throttle. This arranged flow path avoids pressure spikes or drops that can disturb injector calibration. Stable delivery supports precise timing and helps maintain optimal fuel atomization.
Powder Coated Steel for Corrosion Resistance
The replacement tank is precision formed from heavy gauge steel to preserve the original 18 gallon volume and then sealed inside and out with a dense powder coat that resists corrosion and chemical attack. Dense coating locks out moisture salt spray and road grime while surviving abrasion from debris on the highway. Inside the tank smooth weld seams and a flush interior shape minimize sediment build up around the pump inlet for reliable operation. The finish is applied with pre treatment and heat curing steps to ensure uniform thickness and adhesion. Over time this durable barrier prevents pitting or metal fatigue.
Factory Frame Alignment for Effortless Installation
Every aspect of this tank conversion lines up with the original Chevrolet frame points for 1953 through 1954 models so no chassis modifications are needed. Included straps brackets gaskets and hardware match factory locations and arrive with clear step by step instructions on securing the tank and routing fuel and vent lines. This approach maintains original ground clearance under the tank and avoids exposing the pump and hoses to excessive heat from the exhaust system. Driveshaft and suspension clearances remain as they were from the factory making future inspections and service straightforward. The installer can therefore direct effort toward fuel system tuning rather than fabrication.
Comprehensive Kit Configuration for Modern EFI Engines
This all in one assembly bundles the high capacity Walbro pump a precision sending unit filler neck vent filter gaskets and all required hardware to support LS and LT engine conversions without sourcing extra parts. Choosing a pump rated for over 550 horsepower ensures sufficient flow even in high demand applications while retaining the full driving range of the factory 18 gallon tank. Each kit element is engineered to integrate seamlessly within the sealed tank environment for consistent pressure and system integrity. Clear instructions guide professional technicians and weekend enthusiasts alike through a plug and play upgrade. This thoughtful configuration allows you to focus on calibration and tuning rather than on assembling disparate components.
