    All engines

Intended for compatible 1971–1972 Chevrolet Chevelle applications. Confirm the vehicle uses the correct EEC / evaporative-emissions configuration. Verify the original tank requires 3 vent pipes. Confirm filler-neck design and location. Verify fuel-sender opening and lock-ring style. Check tank dimensions against the original. Confirm mounting-strap spacing and underbody clearance. Vent-hose routing must match the vehicle’s emissions system. Modified fuel systems or emissions-delete setups may require different plumbing. EFI conversions may require a different sender, pump module, or return arrangement. Aftermarket exhaust systems can affect tank clearance. Do not assume sender, straps, hoses, lock ring, or cap are included. Compare the original tank’s filler neck, vent pipes, and sender opening before installation.
