Larger gas tank on a '93 Civic vx
I am getting close to 50MPG on my commuter '93 Civic VX (no hybrid
for me. I can get about 420 miles/tank before I chicken out and fill up the 10 gallon tank (I can usually get about 8.5 gallons in there). I want to extend the range of my civic by putting in a bigger gas tank from the same generation civic DX, EX, or SI which holds 12 gallons. Has anyone done this before? I'll extend my range another 100 miles/tank which is great for me since I can go for a week without filling up. Anyone know of any issues I may run into? I'm almost sure the size of the tank will not be an issue. Too bad I can't fit the accord 17 gallon gas tank in there (if I could, I would get over 800 miles/tank). Gary |

VX has a 10.5 gallon tank, the rest have a 11.9 gallon tank. Not worth the
effort to swap the tanks IMHO. The fuel lines as almost impossible to get to. > wrote in message oups.com... > I am getting close to 50MPG on my commuter '93 Civic VX (no hybrid > for me.
