Original-Style Replacement Fuel Tanks

For restorations retaining the original fuel delivery system, Tanks, Inc. offers die-stamped steel replacement fuel tanks designed around original factory dimensions.

• 1955-1956 Chevrolet (Part #556-A): A galvanized steel replacement fuel tank with original-style dimensions and compatibility with the factory fuel level sending unit.
• 1957 Chevrolet (Part #570-A): A factory-style galvanized steel replacement tank designed for original fuel system applications and compatible sending units.

These replacement tanks provide an option for replacing an aging, damaged, or corroded original fuel tank while retaining a traditional fuel system configuration.

EFI-Ready Fuel Tanks

For restomods, pro-touring cars, and vehicles receiving modern fuel-injected engines, Tanks, Inc. offers EFI-ready fuel tanks designed to accommodate an in-tank electric fuel pump.

• 1955-1956 Chevrolet EFI Tank (Part #556-CG): A 15.5-gallon fuel tank featuring internal baffling, a large fuel reservoir tray, provisions for a Tanks, Inc. GPA Series in-tank fuel pump, and a recessed pump and sending unit mounting arrangement.
• 1957 Chevrolet EFI Tank (Part #570-CG): A 15.5-gallon EFI-ready fuel tank with internal baffling, an integrated fuel reservoir tray, and provisions for an appropriately sized in-tank electric fuel pump.

These EFI-ready tanks feature coated steel construction, an OE-style installed appearance, and provisions for compatible five-bolt fuel level sending units. Fuel pump capacity and sender resistance must be selected to match the vehicle's engine management system and instrumentation. Fuel pumps, sending units, and associated components may be sold separately.

Fuel System Selection & Compatibility

Proper fuel tank selection requires consideration of vehicle body style, mounting configuration, engine fuel requirements, fuel pressure, pump capacity, fuel return plumbing, tank venting, and fuel level sender compatibility.

EFI conversions require careful coordination of the fuel tank, electric pump, fuel pressure regulation, supply and return lines, filtration, and electrical controls. Applications involving LS, LT, or other modern fuel-injected engines may require additional fuel system components beyond the tank itself.

Verify tank fitment for the specific Chevrolet body style, particularly station wagons, Nomads, and other applications that may use different tank configurations.
