The Honda 17701-Z8B-813 Fuel Tank Tube (FKM) is a genuine OEM fuel line component designed for GCV160, GCV190, and GSV190 vertical shaft engines, as well as HRC216, HRR216, HRS216, and HRX217 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact dimensions and material grade Honda specifies for these applications. Confirm part number 17701-Z8B-813 against your unit's serial number and Honda's fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial number breaks and specifications may vary across production runs.
Key Features
- FKM Construction — the (FKM) designation identifies this tube as a fluoroelastomer fuel line, a material Honda specifies for its resistance to fuel degradation over time; this is the correct variant for applications requiring FKM and should be matched to your unit accordingly
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this Fuel Tank Tube (FKM) meets the exact dimensional and material specifications Honda set at the factory, ensuring a proper seal and correct flow at the tank connection
- Broad Fitment Across Honda Engines and Mowers — fits GCV160, GCV190, and GSV190 vertical shaft engines, and the HRC216, HRR216, HRS216, and HRX217 walk-behind lawn mowers; verify your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct tube for your production run
- Fuel Delivery Integrity — a cracked, hardened, or leaking fuel tank tube restricts fuel flow to the carburetor or allows air ingestion, causing hard starting, rough running, or fuel leaks; replacing a degraded tube restores clean, uninterrupted fuel delivery
The fuel tank tube carries fuel from the tank to the carburetor, forming a sealed, flexible connection that accommodates the vibration and movement normal to engine operation. In GCV and GSV vertical shaft engines — and in the HRC216, HRR216, HRS216, and HRX217 mowers that run on them — this tube is exposed to constant fuel contact and heat cycling, which can cause older rubber lines to harden, crack, or swell over time. When the tube fails, fuel delivery is disrupted or fuel leaks externally; fitting a fresh Honda OEM Fuel Tank Tube (FKM) restores a fuel-tight connection and consistent carburetor feed.
