There's a procedure in the HSM that shows you how to calibrate the gas gauge or determine if it's faulty

Honda service manual, basically gotta unplug the harness on the tank side and short 2 wires (Cant remember which ones) turn the key to ignition (dont start the car) then the gas needle will slowly rise and once it reaches full turn the key off. Make sure you fill up the tank.

Also the 2 wires that short if you take your multimeter it should read between 5v-8v with the key on. If either of these techniques do not work then you will have to replace the fuel/temp gauge in the cluster.

My bad, but either way it'll will determine if your fuel gauge or sending unit is the issue

Rob the guts out of a good cluster and change the needles and face.

could it be that the ek9 cluster fuel gauge doesn’t work on our 96-00 civics?

google says you're the only one with this issue. Besides, people swap clusters every other day.
