The Honda 17701-Z8A-803 Fuel Tank Tube (FKM) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GC160 and GC190 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this tube is manufactured to the exact specification required for proper fuel delivery between the tank and the fuel system on these engines. This part fits both the GC160 and GC190, but because Honda supersedes parts at serial number breaks, confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure this is the correct version for your unit.
Key Features
- FKM Construction — the FKM (fluoroelastomer) material designation is part of Honda's specification for this tube, indicating suitability for fuel contact in the GC-series fuel system
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, this tube meets the exact dimensional and material requirements needed for a proper seal and consistent fuel flow in GC160 and GC190 engines
- Fits GC160 and GC190 Horizontal Shaft Engines — confirm your engine serial number against the fitment table, as Honda issues updated part numbers at specific serial breaks
- Restores Fuel Delivery — a cracked, hardened, or degraded fuel tank tube causes fuel leaks, fuel starvation, or difficult starting; replacing it with the correct OEM tube brings fuel delivery back to spec
The fuel tank tube carries fuel from the tank to the engine's fuel system, maintaining a consistent and sealed flow path that the carburetor depends on to meter fuel correctly. Over time, fuel line material can harden, crack, or swell — particularly when exposed to ethanol-blended fuels — leading to leaks, air ingestion, or restricted flow that causes hard starting, rough running, or fuel starvation under load. Replacing a worn tube with the correct Honda OEM part restores a secure, leak-free connection and keeps the fuel system on GC160 and GC190 engines functioning as intended.
