The Honda 17702-Z8A-023 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 exact specifications of the original, ensuring a proper fit and consistent fuel delivery across the engines it serves. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda periodically supersedes parts at production breaks within a model range.
Key Features
- FKM Construction — the FKM (fluoroelastomer) compound gives this tube strong resistance to fuel degradation, keeping the fuel line pliable and sealed over extended service periods without swelling or cracking.
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, part number 17702-Z8A-023 matches the original tube in length, diameter, and end fitment so it installs without reworking the fuel line.
- Fits GC and GS Series Engines — designed for GC160, GC190, GS160, and GS190 horizontal shaft engines; verify your serial number against the fitment table to confirm applicability to your specific unit.
- Fuel Flow Integrity — a failed or cracked fuel tube starves the carburetor of a steady fuel supply, causing hard starting, erratic running, or complete fuel cutoff; this replacement restores consistent flow to keep the engine running cleanly.
The fuel tube carries gasoline from the fuel tank to the carburetor, maintaining a steady, sealed flow that the engine's fuel system depends on. Because the tube is in continuous contact with fuel and engine heat, the FKM elastomer material is specified here to resist the chemical and thermal conditions present in these horizontal shaft engines. When the tube cracks, hardens, or develops a leak, fuel delivery becomes inconsistent — leading to rough running, fuel seepage, or a no-start condition — making timely replacement essential for safe, stable engine operation.
