The Honda 17500-Z5K-811ZB Fuel Tank Assembly (McKinley White) is a genuine OEM Fuel Tank Assembly designed for GX270 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this fuel tank is manufactured to the same standards as the original unit fitted at the factory, ensuring a proper, secure installation without modification. If you are replacing a damaged, cracked, or discolored tank on your GX270 engine, confirm the McKinley White color finish matches your existing unit before ordering, as Honda offers fuel tanks in multiple color variants for this engine family.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this fuel tank is manufactured to exact original specifications, ensuring proper capacity, vent routing, and mounting compatibility with GX270 horizontal shaft engines.
- Color-Matched Variant — finished in McKinley White to match the original appearance of correctly equipped GX270 engines; verify your existing tank color before ordering, as this variant is specific to that color designation.
- Direct OEM Replacement — replaces the original fuel tank assembly on GX270 engines with no alterations required; mounting points, fuel outlet, and cap interface align with Honda's original design.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates and supersedes parts at production serial breaks, so cross-reference your engine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm part number 17500-Z5K-811ZB is correct for your specific unit.
The fuel tank stores the gasoline supply that feeds the engine's carburetor during operation. It is vented to prevent vapor lock and maintains a consistent fuel supply under varying operating angles and load conditions. A cracked, warped, or leaking tank starves the engine of fuel, causes hard starting, rough running, or stalling, and creates a fire hazard — replacing it with a correct OEM assembly restores safe, uninterrupted fuel delivery to the GX270 engine.
