i got a 92 vx EG. soon installing a D15B vtec. Has any1 here successfully swapped a gas tank from a diff civic or Teg into their EG? i know my 92vx has a 10gal tank and the Ex/Si has 11.9. I would like to use a DC teg's tanke which is 13.2 i believe.... for LONG ROAD trips to VEGAS and Phoenix. Thankx

instead of all that labor, why dont you just fill up a portable gas container and bring it with you whenever you take road trips instead of driving around with a big *** tank daily?

It'll go in, but I forget what modifications are needed. There's another thread withthe same question a few lines down that might be of help, too.

if you care at all about weight reduction
(which you should.. you drive an eg) then stick with the small tank, a bigger tank will add alot of weight

I want to swap to a smaller one myself

dremmel

weight reduction is not the deal, i have aVX daily driver. i just want a farther cruising range w/o the firehazard of a cell in the back. thanks for responses

dremmel

to the top

Hey dremmel, if you end up ditching that VX tank, would you consider sending it my way?

I have a huge dent in the bottom of mine that seems to have rust forming, and it has me a little worried.

dremmel

you wanna pick it up? that would be too much $ to ship...and dangerous.. sorry

dremmel

if i can fit another tank successfully, $40 shipped? I'll just siphon the gas and box it up... UPS will ship anything i hear

dremmel

hmmm could i resurrect this thread? no gas tank swaps done???? how about an INTEGRA 94 & up gas tank into a 92 Civic hatch?

Screw that

88 Crx HF with a 96+ HX motor (convert to OBD1 and use a VX Ecu) + EX/SI transmission = kinda quick car with 45+ MPG for under what ? 4,000 if you do it right

I want to build one of those in my spare time

dremmel

thats a great idea. i still have my VX ecu & wire harness. but i sold my Ex tranny last month . I was gonna put my VX tranny back in because my Dx tranny that is in right now, is slipping out of 2nd gear sometimes. well ill take a trip to the junk yard then!

I'm in east San Diego and I would like to swap your VX tank in place of my DX tank. How difficult is it anyway? Want to trade?

A gas tank swap isn't worth it. That extra gallon of gas will net you a 30-50 extra miles depending on your motor.

Just use that money and fill up your tank when it's almost empty.

bringing this back from the dead...


does a 2000 integra gas tank fit in a 1992 cx?

my problem is that the cx has rust forming on the top of the gas tank and i happen to have access to an integra tank.

repair or replace?

edit: found that it should fit

becareful if you do a tank swap like that, i know one of my friends was careless with his 96 dx hatch and his tank started to drag on the ground =\

just finished swapping mine, it fits perfectly

it also turns out, the entire tank was rusting, not just the top...

Hey what tank did you use?
