Default gas tank replacement

I have a '92 SI that needs a new gas tank. I took it in to a shop and they did what they could to patch it up but right now its sitting in my driveway with a bucket under it...

What I need to know is, if I went to a junkyard, is the gas tank for the 92-95 cars interchangable among body styles? Where I am, at least, it is very uncommon to find a hatch in a junkyard, much less an si, but can i take a tank off of a sedan or coupe. Also, do different spec levels, dx, ex, si etc, have different tanks?

I'd have to say yes..but I've never swapped it out in different body styles before...

according to alldata, all 1992-1995 gas tanks have the same capacity (11.9 gallons), but different part numbers between the CX/VX and DX/SI model hatches. BUT the DX/SI hatch shares the same part number as the 4 door and 2 door civics.

so as long as its not a tank from a CX/VX, i don't see any issues. hope that helped.

good luck!

Gas tanks at most junk yards are drilled and gas removed/syphoned. Yes, they probably realize they have drain plugs, but this is faster.
You will probably need to find a local seller, who is parting out a civic.

^ agreed. I also think it's safe to assume that all of the tanks are compatible as the chassis are the same.
