    Re: gas tank size

    would anyone happen to have the owners manual to a 1988 accord LX? i don't think my car came with one when my dad bought it off of his boss. i just want to make sure how many gallons from E to F and from E to completely empty.... and when the fuel light comes on.... i would greatly appreciate it ^_^

    Re: gas tank size

    my gauge goes up and down a lot while driving....like from say half full to almost on E, then goes back up. when my gas light comes on, it's like it lights up real slowly and gets brighter and brighter....anybody else's gauge and light do this?

    Re: gas tank size

    My 86 dx has a 15.2 gallon gas tank with reserve according to the original owners manual... And to be honest I've run it to the point of just shy of that when filling up... Btw my gas light doesn't come on so I estimate by my milage... Right around 375 miles...

    Yes light comes on around 12 gallons used. Tanks are 15.9 gallons, you can put about 16.2 if you fill it up to the cap. I usually drive 100 miles after the light comes on, its exhilarating.

    I go to shell cause it makes my engine happy lol. Even 89 at shell kicks 91 at PetroCanada's ass. I filled up with 91 at Petrocan, and the car didnt respond to the gas pedal! Then i put in 89 at Shell and it was running good.

    Btw, what octanes do you guys use?

    Re: gas tank size

    for some reason my coupe's gas light will come on when still have over 5 gallons left. i think the sender unit arm maybe bent or just a defect from the factory
