In short, though, you&#8217;re going to need a high-pressure pump. LS engines don&#8217;t have a spot for a mechanical pump and those won&#8217;t provide enough pressure for the fuel injectors anyways. You can opt for a new tank that has a pump in it, or you could do an in-line external pump although we recommend a new tank with the pump inside.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89646dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"89646dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CCS-CC571DP.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-53386\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CCS-CC571DP.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CCS-CC571DP-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5be7355 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5be7355\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7278962\" data-id=\"7278962\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44a386d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44a386d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On keeping this new LS cool, you&#8217;ll probably want to upgrade your radiator.
