1955-1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad/150/210/Station Wagon LS Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
When installing an LS engine in a mid 1950s Bel Air Nomad or Station Wagon, maintaining steady fuel pressure is critical to avoid lean conditions under load. This Fuel Tank Kit houses a 255 LPH pump inside the tank, eliminating external plumbing and delivering up to 255 liters per hour to support engines rated up to 550 horsepower. Fitment to the original frame rails ensures underbody clearance is maintained and installation remains straightforward for both professional shops and home builders.
In Tank 255 LPH Pump Configuration
By positioning the 255 liter per hour pump inside the tank the design removes the need for external plumbing and cuts out pressure loss that can occur over long runs. Locating the fuel pump within the tank also shields it from engine bay temperatures, reducing the risk of heat soak and vapor lock. This configuration delivers consistent flow to the injectors and preserves original underbody clearance on 1955 and 1956 Bel Air Nomad and Station Wagon frames. The result is a sharper throttle response and stable fuel supply during both steady cruising and aggressive acceleration.
Fuel Delivery for Up To 550 HP LS Engines
The 255 LPH capacity is carefully chosen to meet the demands of LS engines rated up to 550 horsepower without risking lean conditions under load. Maintaining steady pressure during high RPM bursts protects injectors and valves from fuel starvation and detonation. Drivers will notice smoother power delivery and reduced hesitation when pushing hard on backroads or highway on-ramps. This reliable supply ensures peak performance in a wide range of driving scenarios.
Original Frame Rail Fitment and Clearance Preservation
This fuel tank kit is engineered for a direct fit to the stock frame rails of 1955 and 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad, 150, 210, Station Wagon, and Sedan Delivery models. No modifications or custom brackets are required, which preserves the factory ride height and ground clearance. The tank maintains the original mounting points, so installation avoids any interference with suspension components or exhaust routing. Enthusiasts benefit from a clean underbody appearance and trouble free fitment.
All Inclusive Kit Components and Installation Guide
The kit arrives complete with a sending unit, filler neck, tank straps, vent filter, gaskets, and all necessary hardware sized for direct fitment. A detailed instruction guide walks through removal of the old tank and installation of the new EFI module using only basic tools. By covering every component and step, the system eliminates guesswork for both professional shops and home builders. This all inclusive approach streamlines the swap process and ensures reliable fuel performance from day one.
