Gas Fuel Tank with Cap Compatible with 699374 B&S Engines, John Deere, Troy Bilt, Craftsman & More Replaces# 494213 495224 499618 693377

What It Is

This is a replacement gas fuel tank with cap designed for small engines, primarily on walk-behind mowers, tractors, and zero-turn riders. It stores fuel and delivers it to the carburetor, commonly used on Briggs & Stratton, John Deere, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman equipment.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your engine model: Fits most single-cylinder Briggs & Stratton engines (e.g., 675, 725, 750 series) and many Intek/Quantum models. Look for the engine model number on the valve cover or blower housing.
• OEM cross-references: This aftermarket tank replaces OEM numbers 699374, 494213, 495224, 499618, and 693377. If your original tank has one of these numbers stamped on it, this is a direct swap.
• Physical dimensions: Tank measures roughly 9.5" x 6" x 5". Measure your mounting bracket or deck space to ensure it fits without interfering with belts, pulleys, or the frame.
• Brand compatibility: Works on many John Deere (LA, D, X series), Craftsman (LT, GT, T series), and Troy-Bilt (Bronco, Pony) mowers from the 1990s through 2010s. Confirm your deck size (e.g., 42", 46") is listed in the manufacturer’s parts lookup.
• Cap fitment: Includes a vented cap. If your original cap was non-vented, this may change fuel flow characteristics—check your carburetor type.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket tank is slightly thinner plastic than OEM, but holds up well for residential use. Not recommended for commercial mowers or extreme heat conditions.
• Installation: Simple swap—remove two bolts holding the tank, disconnect the fuel line (use pliers to release the clamp), and reverse. Expect 15-30 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The fuel outlet may sit at a different angle than your original. You may need to trim the fuel line or add a small rubber hose adapter to avoid kinking.
• Cap seal: Some users report the cap doesn’t seal perfectly. Apply a thin layer of grease to the gasket if you notice fuel smell or drips.

Should You Buy It

If your OEM tank is cracked, leaking, or the cap threads are stripped, and you’re on a budget, this is a solid, low-risk replacement for most home-use mowers. Avoid it if you need exact OEM fit for a commercial machine or have a very tight engine bay—measure first.
