67-72 blazer fuel tank electric fuel pump - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1972ochre4x4 · 02-14-2020, 02:49 PM

Has anyone put an electric fuel pump in a 67-72 k5 tank ? I have found later 87 tank info but nothing on 67-72 tanks. I already have fuel tank mounted.
P.S.- I am running a 5.3

Bumping as I am interested in answers. On a new tank it probably wouldn’t be too difficult to weld in a later model pump bung/receptacle (what is it really called) so an easily obtained GM pump assembly can be used?

Tanks inc has a couple of solutions also.

I had a shop weld in a tray to mount mine, seems the most problem I had was the locking ring to keep it in the tank. There is a universal locking system now available thru out the industry

What pump did you use?

It's more the mounting bracket then the pump, but my pump puts out 55psi

the ss gets welded to the tray, and the black locking ring is installed on top of it. While you're in there, I would change the neck on the tank

I found this ring which seems to be pretty straight forward and easy

sorry, but I have no idea, how they work and how you mount the pump. I says adapters, so, what does it adapt?

The company I used was called Vapor Worx

If you look at your tank the fuel fill is a short straight piece of piping/tube. Originally on 1969-1972 Blazers and Jimmy's the fuel filler neck had a bend that kind of goes around the body mount. Previously we would remove the ones from our original tank and solder it onto the new tank. There is now a tank with the correct fuel fill. This is on Blazers not pick up trucks.

We do have the gas tank part # 69-10710 $165.00

I decided to go with a tanks inc pump as it will bolt in no welding
