Dorman - OE Solutions Fuel Tank P/N:576-147
Dorman 576-216 fuel tank for the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 6-cylinder 3.8L, V8 4.3L or 4.6L stores the fuel your engine runs on. This Dorman fuel tank is the reservoir the fuel pump pulls from.
A fuel smell, a wet or stained tank surface or rust through the metal can mean the tank is worn, though a fuel line or filler hose that leaks can also be the source, so find the cause before replacing the tank. A shop can inspect the fuel system if you are unsure.
This fuel tank directly replaces the original on the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air with the 6-cylinder 3.8L, V8 4.3L or 4.6L engine. A 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 6-cylinder 3.8L, V8 4.3L or 4.6L takes a single tank.
