How to check your 2019 Honda Civic’s gas tank size

If you want to confirm your Civic’s gas tank capacity by checking it yourself, here’s what you should do.

Measure the gas tank

As long as you’re equipped with a handy measuring tape and a calculator, you can find your car’s gas capacity with a simple math equation. All you need to do is find your fuel tank, measure its length, width, and height in inches, then multiply those numbers together. When you have the result, divide it by 231 (that’s the number of cubic inches in a gallon) to get your tank's gas capacity.

Check your owner’s manual

If you’re looking for the most straightforward approach, you can simply look up “fuel capacity” or “gas capacity” in your owner’s manual. All automakers include either the average or exact capacity of the vehicle’s fuel tank in their manual.

Drive till empty, then fill it up

If you don’t want to deal with taking your own measurements, and you don’t have your owner’s manual on hand, you can also get your Civic’s gas tank capacity simply by driving the car until the gas gauge hits “E”. Then, when you fill it up again at the fuel pump, just watch the meter to see how much gas is needed to refill the tank.
