Size of 2006 TL Fuel Tank
I've got a 2006 TL which I love. However, I really don't think that the fuel tank capacity is 17 gallons as documented.
I have a bad habit of sometimes running very low on fumes (when the orange light has been on for 20 miles or more), and I have not been able to fill the tank with more than 13 gallons of fuel. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks! |

how many gallons are left in the tank at the moment when the light comes on?
This has nothing to do with individual car's gas mileage, and all about the guage calibration. |
Hi, I have the same issue, have you solved this? Im driving a honda tl 2006.

Honda TL 2006, not certain as to the capacity, but the Acura TL:
17.09 Gal tank Light on @ 14, so 3 gal remaining. |

Thanks for the reply.
when I am trying to fill the tank its stops filling at 13 Gallons and whether there is some in the tank or not [let say it has about 3 to 4 gallons], before this, when it was almost empty, I was only able to fill it up to 13 gallons. Do you guys think its something to do with the tank or calibration is wrong? if calibration is wrong how would I go about fixing it? Thanks. |
^no. the sensor stops at 13 gallons and you can drive an additional 4 gallons to make a 17 gallon tank.
For what it's worth; I only fill up 13 gallons at a time, as that's when the fuel shut off on the pump comes on. I never drive the additional four gallons and just fill it up with 13 gallons always. |

The listed tank capacity is 17.1 gallons. On my TL, when miles to go reaches 0, I still have about 2.8 gallons left in the tank. FYI, if you slow fill/top off the tank, you can stuff about 19.5 gallons in it.
