Wait a few seconds or two, and you'll see the gas going back down the nozzle. Add more gas until the nozzle is full. Watch it go down again. Repeat until gas doesn't go down anymore. THEN and only then is your tank full.

How do you guys think I can actually drive way more than 600 miles with a single gas tank?

CJams, ALL of the premium went in the TSX's gas tank. Not in the trunk, in the tank. Why would I lie? I've never BS'ed on this board, and I'm not about to.

sauceman

Indeed!

CJams

You are my hero!!!!!! And you got over 600 miles out of a tank? Man I drive gas hog....heheheheh

sauceman

748 miles on day-to-day driving was my best, to be precise.

But if I were to drive a full tank in the same conditions as in my test in June, it would have been 820 miles.

Sorry Saucy but I gotta pull it on ya!

Nope. Exact same 17.17 gallon size.

I am a belielver! I have never filled the gas tank so much before. The gas was filled all the way up to the cap. I waited for it to go down a bit more so I could make it to 19 gallons, but it was completely maxed out!



My personal record! and I am going to get 500 miles out of this tank dammit!

jlukja

Holy crap. You should go for 600

sauceman

And now it's verified.

Congrads and good luck with the 500 mile hunt!

Tsx536

I hit 420 miles this weekend and filled up with about 14.3 gallons.

That's almost 29.5 mpg...even with all my mods

CJams

Add me to the 500 mile mebership list!



This was also the worse week for traffic in a while. It took me 2 hours 20min to get home today. I am still gonna squeez a few more miles out of it before I fill up, but I was just so happy I wanted to share it with everyone.

mna . i must be a bad driver or i just drive too fast .. 320 on ~ 14gal on average .. mix city/hwy driving

Tintin

Is there an official number (from acura) of how big the tank is?!

I mean the stretch from a 50L to a 70L is huge! (extra 20$ a fill up!)

wops, sorry. i wanted to write this reply in this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14963

17.1 gal. according to our FAQ Page

While I'll say congratulations, something to think about... to protect the engine from the inevitable gas impurities that enter your tank (from the storage facilities or wherever), some automotive experts (and me -- who isn't an expert) believe that you should fill up when the tank is about 1/4 left. That way the garbage remains at the bottom of your gas tank and doesn't ever reach the engine. This becomes more important as the car ages.

Thank goodness Honda makes great engines that are pretty good handling garbage, but several mfgrs who have sensitive engines (like the VW 1.8T) promote this among their service staffs.

That being said -- good luck on your quest! (This is not sarcastic -- I got 490 out of a 1989 Civic that had a 12 gallon tank driving in the Southeast on I-95 behind a truck).

I have fillled 16.7 gallons before, but then again I got 580 miles out of that tank of gas.

jlukja

I've never put more than 15 gallons in it, even when I thought I was running on fumes.

Although there has never been a reported problem with the expansion tank being filled in the TSX; the V6 model of the Accord between 1998-1999 had an issue with an emission part needing replacement as a result of overfilling.

i know i've done over 16 before, but can't remember exact number.
