It looks like it's a 17 gallon tank.... new news to me... I thought it was roughly 13 or 14 and always wondered why my fuel light never came on and then it'd take 12.xx gallons to fill it.... apparently I wasn't running it low enough *L* my guage doesn't work worth crap either.... here's where I got the info, apparently these fuel guages stink

i wonder if honda might have done it on purpose cause all of oursgoes to empty on roughly 12 to 13 gallons.

I'd imagine it's just a calibration issue.... I'm not 100% sure though if anyone else has some insight to shed on this or a 94-97 accord with the same problem I'd be interested to see what the suggestions besides calibration are...

I have the same problem!
My gauge looks just about empty at about 12gallons. I dont think you can run E85 on your Accord. From what i know, you have to get your engine retrofited to use E85 |
RE: 94 accord - e85 and gas tank ?
NO & NO!!!!!!! Do not run E85. Even the newest Honda engines will only accept E10.

Same with my gauge, but I have never had my gas light come on either. I read it was 17 gallons, i think it says it in the manual. So is it really 17 gallons or what?

RE: 94 accord - e85 and gas tank ?
yea the manual says "17.04" gallons :D

RE: 94 accord - e85 and gas tank ?
I've run mine down to the light before, and then put in almost 14 gallons. And the light comes on when you have three gallons left, I believe, so thats about right. But yeah, usually I fill mine up when its close to or on the E line, and I pump 11-13 gallons, depending on just how low it was.
