Fuel Capacity for 2000 RL

Hi. does anyone know how big the OEM gas tank is for 2000 RL??? I called 3 different dealerships and got 3 different answers.

one told me 17 gal, the other told me 18 gal, and another told me they don't know.....

So, i'm assuming its 17 or 18 but does anyone know for fact? Thanks.

Yup, its 18. Realistically you dont want to go much past 15.5 gallons though.

How much fuel is left?

Every Honda I've owned has a couple extra gallons when it claims to be nearly empty.
