Description
Overview:
The Tube Fuel Return is a Genuine Honda part for small 4‐stroke engines, designed to route excess fuel safely back to the tank to keep the fuel system balanced and efficient. Made from flexible, fuel‐resistant tubing, it maintains a reliable seal with the carburettor and tank grommet to reduce leaks and fumes. It is purpose‐built for Honda GX31 and GX22 engines commonly found on handheld garden and light construction equipment. Replacing a hardened or cracked return tube helps restore smooth running, consistent starting, and stable idling. As an OEM component, it matches the original specification for material, fit and routing, supporting long service life with standard unleaded petrol and routine outdoor use.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda OEM for assured compatibility and performance on GX22 and GX31 engines
- Fuel‐resistant construction to help prevent swelling, hardening, and cracking over time
- Correct form and size to seat securely on the carburettor spigot and tank grommet
- Restores proper fuel recirculation to reduce waste and support efficient running
- Helps reduce fuel odours and the risk of leaks from perished tubing
- Straightforward replacement using basic hand tools, with no modifications required
- Durable OEM quality suitable for regular professional and domestic use
- Supports reliable starting and stable idling by maintaining correct fuel return flow
Typical Applications:
Routine maintenance or repair of Honda‐powered brushcutters, line trimmers, hedge trimmers, small pumps and similar handheld equipment using GX31 or GX22 engines. Ideal when recommissioning stored machines, addressing fuel leaks, or replacing aged tubing that has stiffened or cracked due to exposure to fuel and weather.
