Ok so I just got this car tonight, its a 93 civic hatch with a b16. I was driving it around and noticed that the fuel gauge seems to move alot, I didnt know if this is normal or anything but I just seemed to drop down and then go back up alot, sometimes faster than others. Just let me know if there is a fix to this.

 

Normal...

 

Ditto, normal for circa 1990 Honda Civics.

 

Yeah, try taking a big right turn like a highway on/off ramp. You're fuel guage will probably drop quite a bit.

 

normal for every civic i have ever been in from 89-00. take a off ramp at like 40ish mph and watch it then. just know that there is constant fluctuation in your gas needle

 

especially under half a tank.. the needle goes crazy

+1 happened to me today. What do you guys normally see to a tank on this kind of car. With mixed driving.

 

B16 in a 93 hatch? I'd say that if you're not getting above 330/tank (around 30mpg), you're not trying. I'm getting that on a B18 in an EK.

 

yep its normally due to the fact you have no baffles in your tank, there for gas moves around alot.

 

ok. I have been kinda beating on it because i just got it last night. I put 15 dollars in it and that almost filled it and i have like 130 on a half tank. the car does need a tune up which will be done this week. Any recomendations on plugs and wires? Also what should the gap be? And anything else I should change?

 

i get like 280 to a tank in my b18c eg. but thats with me hitting vtec all the time.

 

ngk plugs, ngk wires, or oem, or whatever the store has thats not the cheepest pos.

 

magnacore wires, ngk plugs. but my gas gauge 98 ex does the same thing its common

 

very normal for a civic!
