Exmark 114-0280 Fuel Tank Commercial ECS180CKA30000 Walk Behind S X Series

What It Is

The Exmark 114-0280 is an OEM replacement fuel tank designed specifically for commercial-grade Exmark walk-behind mowers, particularly the ECS180CKA30000 and S-Series X-Series models. It holds fuel for extended mowing sessions and is built to withstand the rigors of daily commercial use.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit: Replaces the original tank on Exmark ECS180CKA30000 (60" deck) and S-Series X-Series walk-behinds with Kohler engines.
• Check your model number: Verify your mower’s serial/model tag (usually under the seat or on the frame). This tank is not compatible with other Exmark series (Lazer, Turf Tracer) or non-Exmark mowers.
• Measurements: Tank dimensions are approximately 18" x 12" x 8" – confirm your existing tank’s shape and mounting hole pattern (4 bolts, 3/8" spacing).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine Exmark, so fit is guaranteed. Aftermarket tanks may require trimming or adapter kits.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate (1-2 hours). Requires removing the seat, side panels, and disconnecting fuel lines. Have a fuel line clamp and shop rags ready to catch residual gas.
• Quality: Thick, UV-stabilized polyethylene resists cracking and fading better than most aftermarket options. No reported leaks out of the box.
• Common gotcha: The fuel cap and sending unit (if equipped) are not included – reuse your old ones or order separately (Exmark 114-0281 cap, 114-0282 sender).
• Warranty: Backed by Exmark’s 1-year OEM parts warranty – covers defects, not damage from improper installation.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct-fit, durable replacement for your Exmark commercial walk-behind and want to avoid fitment headaches. It’s overkill for home-use mowers, but for pros who can’t afford downtime, the OEM quality and 4.8-star rating make it a solid investment. Skip it if you’re on a tight budget and willing to risk generic aftermarket fitment.
