Description
Overview:
This Filter, Fuel Tap is a genuine Kawasaki component designed to protect and maintain the fuel system on small industrial petrol engines. It sits on the fuel tap and screens contaminants in the tank before they reach the carburettor, helping to prevent blockages and wear. Made from fuel‐resistant plastic with a fine mesh screen, it provides reliable filtration while maintaining flow. It is purpose‐built for Kawasaki FE‐series engines, including FE120D and FE170D, and offers a straightforward like‐for‐like fit. As an OEM replacement for 140432058, it matches the original dimensions and specification for consistent performance. Ideal for site equipment, garden machinery, and utility engines where clean fuel delivery is essential, this part supports dependable starting, smooth running, and reduced maintenance issues.
