When I go fill up, full tank is usually around 8 gallons. But i think when i read the spec of CRX the gas tank capacity is 10 or 11...are there reserve tank in CRX?

 

No, but you can drive a good 50-60kms with the needle below E. That's where the gas is. The reader is just shitty in those cars, it's must be made for women who never notice it's on E.

 

rofl!

thanks

 

I take mine deep into the red before I fill up and it is still around 9.5 gallons.

 

I've ran the car 100% dry once (for fun too haha) and I fit in 44.5L, and it's a 45L tank.

Reasoning?

Over the year of being full to empty, the tank always colapses a bit do to the vaccum made by the lack of air. You know when you turn your cap and you hear the rush of air, not good. Eventually, after 200XXXkms+ and 15 years, the tank has gotten a tiny fraction smaller, maybe .5L say. Cheap metal does that, plastic tanks dont. And we run cheap metal .

Also, don't forget that the pump can't reach all the way to the bottom. There is always just a fraction left in the tank. And when you fill it, there is always no matter what a tiny little fraction of air in there. Nothing you can do. Also, sediment from years of shitty gas gets in there, and reduces the capacity. Should I keep going or is this topic covered?

 

i swaped my fuel pump and tank out of my rex for brand new ones, resoning is the pump dosent actuly hit the bottom of the tank but the screen does, cuz when i droped a bone dry tank, a good half gallon of fuel still came out.

talk more about that part in bold, cuz mine does that, i thought it was nomal

 

As did I...

 

i aswell thought it was normal for the gassesw to rush out.i live in arizona, one of the hottest states in the nation and when its hot outside u hear all those vapors rush out of the tank like crazy when u pop open the cap. but not so much when its cold tho.. im confused now

I always thought the vacuum seal was for emissions......... It's not your gas tank collapsing lmao

To the OP, you should first calculate what MPG your getting, and multiply by 10. Drive that many miles, and fill up.. Should be putting around 10 gallons in the car

Most I've put in my 89 CRX Si has been 10.6 gal, and that was stalling out driving down the street due to it being so empty
