1955-1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad/150/210 Station Wagon/Sedan Delivery Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
Swapping an LS engine into a 1955 and 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad or Station Wagon can strain the original fuel system and this kit answers that with a steel tank housing a 255 LPH pump for reliable delivery under load. Direct-fit mounting preserves factory ground clearance by securing to the stock frame rails without fabrication work. Submerging the pump in the fuel supply insulates it from engine bay heat and reduces pressure loss over the line for crisp throttle response during both steady cruising and hard launches.
Efficient Pump Placement Ensuring Steady Fuel Flow
Positioning the 255 liter per hour pump inside the fuel reservoir reduces the length of external plumbing and cuts pressure loss across long hose runs. Immersing the unit in fuel shields it from engine bay thermal buildup and lowers the chance of vapor lock under hard driving. The design retains the factory underbody profile so ground clearance remains unchanged on 1955 and 1956 Bel Air Nomad and Station Wagon frames. These measures deliver fuel directly to the injectors, yielding crisp throttle response during sustained high rpm operation.
255 LPH Pump Matched to LS Engine Demands
A pump rated at 255 liters per hour is calibrated to support LS powerplants producing up to 550 horsepower, eliminating lean conditions at high engine speed. This consistent supply protects injector flow characteristics and valve performance by maintaining line pressure under load. Whether accelerating from a standstill or hauling weight, the engine sustains stable fuel delivery across varied driving scenarios. Steady pressure also helps prevent detonation when the throttle is pushed hard.
Direct Fitment Preserving Historic Chassis Geometry
This kit bolts directly to the stock frame rails on 1955 and 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad, 150, 210, Station Wagon and Sedan Delivery models, requiring no custom brackets or body modifications. By using the original mounting points, installers maintain the vehicle's ride height and ground clearance, avoiding interference with suspension and exhaust systems. The result is a clean underbody appearance that honours the classic chassis design while supporting modern engine requirements. Both professional shops and home builders benefit from a straightforward installation path.
Complete Kit Components for Easy Assembly
All essential hardware is included, from the fuel tank and sending unit to the filler neck, tank straps, vent filter, gaskets and mounting bolts. Detailed instructions guide removal of the old tank and integration of the pump using common hand tools. This bundled approach saves time sourcing individual parts and ensures each seal and connection meets factory level standards. The vent filter regulates tank breathing to help avoid pressure buildup and support consistent engine performance.
