The Honda 17511-Z8A-811 Fuel Tank is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GC160 and GC190 horizontal shaft engines. Sourced directly from Honda, this tank is manufactured to the same specifications as the original unit, ensuring a direct, trouble-free replacement. Honda supersedes parts at serial number breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to be sure this is the correct tank for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — manufactured by Honda to the same standards as the original, ensuring correct capacity, outlet positioning, and mounting geometry for GC160 and GC190 engines.
- Direct Replacement — replaces the original tank without modification, preserving the fuel delivery path to the carburetor and maintaining proper engine operation.
- Verified Fitment — built specifically for GC160 and GC190 horizontal shaft engines; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm applicability to your unit.
- Fuel System Integrity — a cracked, warped, or leaking fuel tank starves the engine of consistent fuel supply and creates a hazardous condition; replacing it with an OEM unit restores reliable fuel delivery.
The fuel tank stores the gasoline supply that feeds the engine's carburetor during operation. It is connected to the fuel system via an outlet fitted with a petcock or fuel valve that controls flow. Over time, tanks can develop cracks from impact or UV degradation, warp at sealing surfaces, or accumulate varnish deposits that restrict flow — any of which will cause hard starting, fuel starvation, or fuel leakage. Replacing a damaged tank with a genuine Honda unit restores the fuel supply your GC160 or GC190 engine needs to run cleanly and consistently.
