9 gallon gas tank?

So isnt our gas tanks suppose to be 11.9 gallons right? Well everytime I am pegged on Empty, I fill it up all the way and only get 9 gallons pumped into my tank, then the gauge reads full. Umm any of you guys know if this is normal or possibly a bad sensor?

reserve

Mine is actually around 10.9 gallons...

Maybe you've got a few Kilos of weed stashed in your tank? LOL.

bahahaha hey that would be a good thing... resale! but would smell like gas... yuck

yea i noticed the same thing but only after realizing i was mever putting more then like 15 bucks in that is until recently since gas cost an arm and a leg

my car completly out of gas will only accept 7.5 gallons. i dont get it cause the hf should be some where around 9 gall. and my guage works properly.

HFs I heard had 8 or 9 gallon tanks and the rest of the Civics had 11.9. Even when really on empty and driving for a while I don't think I've ever gotten more than 9+ gallons in the tank.

mines a DX and only holds 9... odd

my std hatch always gets at least 10.2 before it will stop

wander if it changed in differnt years?

run it till it dies then see how much will fit, the gauge is not very accurate

quit hitting your gas tank...it causes dents :rofl:

our 93 teg only holds 10gal :dunno:

ive consistently gotten 10.9 gallons in my tank on my DX. and ive gotten 398 miles on that tank. i guess its because i watch my miles instead of the gas gauge.

my old STD got the same, 10.9 gallons.

anyone else notice that the gas gauge stays on full for like 100 miles, and then finally starts to move? and also that once it gets past the halfway point, it moves very fast in comparison to the the top half?

Mine is just the opposite, it drops off full really fast and once it gets to half way it it doesnt hardly move at all.

I have noticed that to, it seems like it stays on full forever, then when it finaly starts goin down, it goes down quick like

ya the other day i topped my car off and ive driven 106 miles and it just started going below the top line. lol

haha i am glad im not the only one with this problem, stupid honda gas gauges! I call my gas gauge my #2 tach, cause it goes up and down alot!

Yeah the first half of my tank lasts forever and the second half goes as fast as a mo-fo.

P.S. I can put in over 11 gallons in my '90 EX

my new swap, i get 150 miles to the gallon! :-D no joke

There's about a gallon of fuel in the tank that isn't really usuable 'cuz the stuff is sloshing around so much. The gauge shows empty when its a good time to fill up, not when its really empty.

I think all the car companies do this for those people that like to push the limits of how much gas you use to save you later, because when you think you're running on Empty you really have 1-2 gallons left, which is more than enough to make it to your gas station to fill up again
