The Honda 17702-Z8A-013 Fuel Tube (FKM) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GC160, GC190, GS160, and GS190 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this fuel tube is manufactured to the same specification as the part that left the factory, ensuring proper fuel delivery across the full operating range of the engine. This part fits all four models listed — GC160, GC190, GS160, and GS190 — so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure you're selecting the correct part for your specific production run.
Key Features
- FKM Construction — the FKM designation identifies this tube as fluoroelastomer, a fuel-grade material engineered to resist the swelling and degradation that can occur with modern ethanol-blended fuels, keeping the fuel circuit intact over time.
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, part number 17702-Z8A-013 is the factory-original component, not an approximation, delivering the dimensional and material match the fuel system requires.
- Fits GC and GS Series Horizontal Shaft Engines — compatible with GC160, GC190, GS160, and GS190 engines; cross-reference your engine's serial number with the fitment table, as Honda updates parts at production breaks.
- Fuel Flow Integrity — a cracked, hardened, or deteriorated fuel tube restricts flow or allows air into the fuel circuit, leading to lean-running conditions, hard starting, and rough idle; a fresh OEM tube restores correct fuel delivery.
The fuel tube routes fuel from the tank to the carburetor, maintaining a sealed, unobstructed flow path that the engine relies on for consistent starting and smooth power output. Over time, exposure to fuel, heat cycles, and ethanol blends causes rubber fuel lines to harden, crack, or swell — each of which disrupts fuel delivery and degrades engine performance. Replacing a worn fuel tube with the correct OEM part restores the integrity of the fuel circuit and eliminates a common source of starting and running problems on GC and GS series engines.
