Default Gas Tank swap for EG hatch

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

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.

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

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
