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?

Mine is actually around 10.9 gallons...
Maybe you've got a few Kilos of weed stashed in your tank? LOL.

Re: 9 gallon gas tank?
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.

Re: 9 gallon gas tank?
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?

Re: 9 gallon gas tank?
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.
