****ing msn is trying to tell me my 5th gen (97) accord has a 17 gallon tank. i think thatssssssss a negative


i'm pretty sure its 13.5 because when i'm on DAMN empty and i fill it up, it tops off at like, 13.2
which would i have a 13.5 gallon tank, correct?
somone want to confirm this?

sherwood

nope. 17, your not as close to empty as you think

A_D

wtf. seriously?
i can be ALMOST at the empty line and i'll fill up and it'll be 13.2 gallons or so.
4 gallons seems ALOT for a reserve :thinking:

When my needle is on E and the light has been on for 10 miles, at the pump I'll rock the car and keep clicking the pump until I have gas spilling, I might get 14.5 gallons in. 6gen's have 17.1 gallon tanks, and I'm pretty sure the 5gen's do also.

its the reserve aint it?

4th gens only have a 13 gal.

For a definitive answer, check your manual - your tank capacity should be listed under the fluid capacities section.

its got at least a 4 gallon reserve. My step-dad is the service manager at a honda dealership here and i asked him why my 94 did that and he said it had a 4 gallon reserve....

Be careful running those tanks to empty.........not too good for fue pump.
