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

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?

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.

Good thing someone answered the important part of his question...
