1955-1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad and Station Wagon LS Fuel Tank Kit
When fitting an LS engine into a 1955 Bel Air Nomad or a 1956 Station Wagon this fuel tank kit solves the challenge of consistent fuel delivery. It maintains stable pressure under varying loads by housing its pump inside a direct replacement tank. Built to match the original chassis rails of 150, 210 and Sedan Delivery models this design cuts external plumbing to preserve underbody clearance. Internal baffling and a high capacity filter ensure uninterrupted supply through cornering and cruising while the 450 LPH pump supports setups up to 750 horsepower.
In-Tank Pump Placement for Consistent Fuel Delivery
By housing the 450 LPH Walbro pump inside the replacement tank, this design eliminates long external lines that can sap pressure and starve the engine under load. Locating the pump in the fuel reservoir also isolates it from engine bay heat, reducing the risk of vapor lock during extended drives. The direct feed path ensures the LS engine in your '55-'56 Bel Air Nomad or Station Wagon sees stable pressure from idle through full throttle. As a result, drivers enjoy crisp throttle response and seamless transitions between steady cruising and hard acceleration.
Chassis Rail Alignment Preserves Underbody Clearance
This tank is crafted to match the original 1955-1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad, 150 and 210 series Station Wagon, and Sedan Delivery chassis rails exactly. By following factory mounting points, it maintains the vehicle's stock ride height and keeps the underbody profile clean. No trimming, no adapter brackets-just a bolt-in fit that retains ground clearance and protects exhaust and suspension components. Installers will appreciate the simplified process and the end result of a period-correct appearance with modern EFI capability.
Engineered Baffles and High Capacity Filter for Steadier Flow
Internal baffling prevents fuel slosh during cornering or pitching, so the pump always draws a consistent supply even in spirited driving. A generously sized filter screens out contaminants before they reach the injectors, safeguarding the engine against damage and promoting longer component life. This combination of baffling and filtration keeps pressure fluctuations to a minimum, eliminating surging or hesitation in tight turns or on uneven road surfaces. The net effect is a smooth, reliable fuel system tuned to the demands of an LS swap.
Comprehensive Component Kit for Streamlined Installation
The EFI tank assembly arrives complete with sending unit, filler neck, tank straps, vent filter, gaskets and all necessary hardware for a direct installation. Every part is designed to drop into place on the original frame mounts, so there's no need for custom welding or fabrication. Clear, step-by-step instructions guide you through removal of the old tank and integration of the new module using basic hand tools. Whether you're a seasoned technician or a home builder, this all-in-one solution speeds up the swap and ensures dependable performance from day one.
