The Honda 17701-Z8B-803 Fuel Tank Tube (FKM) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GCV160 vertical shaft engines. Sourced directly from Honda, this part is manufactured to the same standards as the original component it replaces, ensuring an exact match to the factory fuel system. The FKM designation identifies the fluoroelastomer compound used in this tube, a material specified by Honda for this application on the GCV160. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — manufactured to the original design specification for the GCV160 fuel system, not an approximation or substitute
- FKM Fluoroelastomer Construction — the FKM compound is Honda's specified material for this tube, chosen for compatibility with fuel in this engine's delivery circuit
- Direct Replacement — part number 17701-Z8B-803 drops in without modification, restoring the original fuel flow path on GCV160 vertical shaft engines
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — check your GCV160 serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct tube for your production range
The fuel tank tube carries fuel from the tank to the carburetor on the GCV160 vertical shaft engine, maintaining a steady, unobstructed supply of fuel to keep the engine running. Over time, fuel hoses and tubes can harden, crack, or swell depending on the materials they are made from, restricting flow or allowing fuel to leak. A degraded tube can cause hard starting, lean running, fuel leaks, or complete loss of engine operation, making prompt replacement essential for safe and consistent engine performance.
