Gas Gauge???

I think my gas gauge is messed up... I got the car 2wks ago and it was on E(way below the line..... It only took 15.3 gallons to fill up. The book says its a 17.1 gallon tank.. Also My low fuel light didnt come on until the needle was on the letter E. Is there any way to diagnos the gauge or something????

Thanks
Ryan

RE: Gas Gauge???

i believe our cars have an overflow tank of some sort. im new to accords but thats about how much my tank holds when i fill up from E.

Yeah, Honda seems to make their gauges so they behave that way.

Since the gasoline cools & lubricates the fuel pump, you REALLY dont want to let the tank go completely empty anyway.

RE: Gas Gauge???

my gauge "7th gen" has the light come on with 4 gallons. i think of it as a safety net. and mine is 17.1. my girl had an 98 same way.
