Honda 17701-Z8A-802 Fuel Tank Tube (FKM)

The Honda 17701-Z8A-802 Fuel Tank Tube (FKM) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GC160 and GC190 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct OEM component, this fuel tank tube is manufactured to Honda's exact specifications, ensuring a proper fit with no guesswork. Honda parts are superseded at serial breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to be sure part number 17701-Z8A-802 is correct for your unit.

Key Features

• FKM Construction — the FKM designation identifies this as a fluoroelastomer fuel tube, a material chosen specifically for its resistance to fuel degradation; this is the grade Honda specifies for this application, not a generic substitute.
• Genuine OEM Honda Part — sourced directly from Honda, this fuel tank tube meets the exact dimensions and material spec the GC160 and GC190 fuel systems were engineered around.
• Fits GC160 and GC190 Horizontal Shaft Engines — confirmed fitment for both models; verify your serial number against the fitment table to ensure this is the correct tube for your engine's production range.
• Maintains Fuel Delivery Integrity — a cracked, hardened, or swollen fuel tube disrupts fuel flow to the carburetor, causing hard starting, rough running, or fuel leaks; replacing a worn tube restores consistent delivery.

The fuel tank tube carries fuel from the tank to the carburetor, forming a sealed passage that keeps the engine supplied with a steady, uninterrupted flow. On GC-series horizontal shaft engines, the tube is exposed to both fuel and engine heat cycling, which gradually degrades standard rubber compounds over time. The FKM (fluoroelastomer) material used in this tube is specifically suited to prolonged fuel contact, helping it hold its shape and seal as the engine ages. When the tube cracks, softens, or collapses internally, fuel delivery becomes erratic — leading to lean-running conditions, hard starts, or visible leaking that demands immediate attention.
