The Honda 17702-Z8B-803 Fuel Tube (FKM) is a genuine OEM fuel tube designed for GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, and GSV190 vertical shaft engines, as well as HRC216, HRN216, HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, HRX217, and HRZ216 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this fuel tube is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a proper fit without modification. Confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda updates part numbers at specific serial breaks.
Key Features
- FKM Construction — the FKM designation identifies this as a fluoroelastomer fuel tube, a material well-suited to sustained contact with gasoline and ethanol-blended fuels, resisting swelling and deterioration that can plague standard rubber hoses
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this tube carries the correct inside diameter, wall thickness, and end geometry to mate with the fuel system components on compatible engines and mowers without trimming or adapting
- Broad Fitment — covers GCV160, GCV170, GCV190, GCV200, and GSV190 vertical shaft engines and HRC216, HRN216, HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, HRX217, and HRZ216 lawn mowers; check your serial number to confirm the correct tube for your unit
- Fuel Delivery Integrity — a cracked or hardened fuel tube restricts flow to the carburetor, causing lean running, hard starts, and stalling under load; replacing it restores consistent fuel delivery and smooth engine operation
The fuel tube carries gasoline from the tank to the carburetor, maintaining a sealed, uninterrupted flow path that the engine depends on for consistent fueling. Over time, heat cycling and exposure to modern ethanol-blended fuels cause standard rubber tubing to harden, crack, or swell internally, starving the carburetor of fuel or allowing air to enter the line. The FKM compound used in part number 17702-Z8B-803 resists this degradation, keeping the fuel path clear and the carburetor supplied so the engine starts readily and runs cleanly through its full operating range.
