Low Gas Warning
 

Hello folks,

I just bought a 2003 Civic Coupe and I was wondering (since it didn't
mention it in the manual):

When the low fuel light comes on in the instrument panel, how much gas is
left? 1 gallon? 2 gallons? Less?

All intelligent replies welcome.

Thx in advance,

Well, you know what your fuel tank capacity is. So just refill the tank
and see how much gas it takes.

The Owners manual answers this and many more questions, you may have.

Perhaps he doesn't HAVE a 2003 Civic Coupe??

Read your owner's manual for all sort of data on fluid capacities. It
will blow your mind.

Actually, I was hoping for a little more accurate measurement.

Thx anyway Alan.

Thanks, I READ IT FROM COVER TO COVER WHEN I BOUGHT THE DAMN CAR. I didn't
see a capacity for it which is why am posting this message here. If you
don't know or won't tell me, fine. Please don't play games.

Re: Low Gas Warning
 

The fuel tank capacity is listed in the owners manual. The
actual capacity is generally three or four gallons more than the
fuel gauge will indicate. ;)

Re: Low Gas Warning
 

You'll never get an accurate number since the fuel gauge on most cars is
anything but accurate.
I used to own a 2001 Civic Coupe. If my memory is good, when the light was
coming on, I was able to put 15 liters less than the max fuel capacity,
which comes to something between 3 to 4 galons. It does come on early.
I have a 2002 CR-V and it's the same thing.

When the light comes on on my 2002 civic sedan (13 gal tank) there is about
3 gallons still in the tank.

I'll give you $5 for the manual then, as this must be a rare and unique
publication. No capactiy info at all? How much oil, coolant, all sorts
of fluid specs are in every owner's manual I've seen, across multiple
manufacturers.

I'll give you $5 for the manual then, as this must be a rare and unique
publication. No capactiy info at all? How much oil, coolant, all sorts
of fluid specs are in every owner's manual I've seen, across multiple
manufacturers.

Because if he can read the answer here, he can read it in the Owners Manual.

Frank,

You missed the actual question. He was asking how much gas is left in the
tank when the warning light comes on. That answer is not in the owners
manual.

Its not in there.

Check your own owners manual and tell us all how many gallons of fuel remain
in the tank when the low fuel warning light comes on.

The original poster stated twice that it was not listed, but apparently
everyone wants to pontificate rather than actually look.

Here is the wording in my owner's manual about the low fuel warning: "This
light comes on when the fuel in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as
it is convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches E. There will be
a small reserve of fuel remaining in the tank when the fuel gauge needle
reached E."

Now tell me - how many gallons is a "small amount" and how many gallons is
"getting low"?

(Experience with this particular car indicates that "Getting low" is roughly
3.5 gallons. I don't know how many "small amount" is because I haven't been
willing to run it dry and find out.)

I based my initial response on the fact that the Owners Manual for Honda
products, in the past did state how much (approx.) was left in the tank when
the low fuel light became lit.

See my above response, please. I apologize for my initial response, it was
based as I stated above in Manuals of previous Hondas that I have owned. It
used to be approximately nine litres (if my memory serves me well). More
than enough to get to a gas station sixty miles away or more.

At least four, and at least two when the indicator shows
empty.

So what? With the tank capacity from the manual, and the amount required
to fill the tank once the light comes on, he knows everything that's
necessary to answer his question.
