The Honda 17510-ZK2-881ZA Fuel Tank (Black) is a genuine OEM replacement built for GX240 and GX270 horizontal shaft engines. As a factory-sourced component, this fuel tank is manufactured to Honda's exact specifications, ensuring proper mounting, correct capacity, and a secure fit with the fuel system connections on your engine. This part carries the Black color variant designation — confirm your original tank color before ordering, as GX240 and GX270 engines were produced with different tank variants across their serial ranges.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, this fuel tank matches the original in every dimension, ensuring correct fitment with your engine's fuel system without adaptation or modification.
- Black Variant — designated for the Black color variant of the GX240 and GX270; verify your original tank color against your serial number before purchasing, as multiple tank variants exist across the production run.
- Fits GX240 and GX270 Horizontal Shaft Engines — engineered specifically for these two models; check your engine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct tank for your unit.
- Fuel Integrity — a cracked, warped, or leaking fuel tank compromises the engine's ability to maintain consistent fuel delivery and creates a potential hazard; replacing it with a correct OEM tank restores proper fuel supply and a sound seal at all connection points.
The fuel tank stores and supplies the gasoline that feeds the carburetor on GX240 and GX270 horizontal shaft engines. It connects to the fuel system via a petcock and fuel line, and must form a leak-free seal to keep the engine running at a steady, consistent fuel level. When a fuel tank cracks, warps, or develops a leak — whether from age, impact, or prolonged exposure to fuel — the engine may suffer from fuel starvation, hard starting, or inconsistent running. Replacing a damaged tank with a genuine Honda OEM part restores the integrity of the fuel system and ensures everything lines up exactly as the engine was designed to operate.
