Default Re: Guess I'll try for a 700 mile tank too.

Hi Lars-ss:

___Yes, the PZEV HCH has a smaller tank due to the different tank it uses vs. the ULEV HCH and it has to do with lowering evaporative emissions, not ICE emissions.

___There are a lot of things you may not believe possible. With that, you will find in short order what is possible in terms of real world - fuel tank capacity.

___The answer to your question about capacity has been posted throughout Greenhybrid and more then once in most cases. Let us see if you can find some answers to your own question and remove any doubt before you use the CAP locks and Large Font code again? Consider it an Easter Egg Hunt of sorts

Manufacturer - Stated fuel tank capacity:

03 Acura MDX: 19.2 gallons
03 Ford Ranger: 16.5 gallons
05 Honda Accord PZEV: 17.1 gallons
04 Honda Civic Hybrid - ULEV: 13.2 gallons
00 Honda Insight: 10.6 gallons
03 Toyota Corolla: 13.2 gallons

Actual fuel tank capacity:

03 Acura MDX: xx.x gallons
03 Ford Ranger: xx.x gallons
05 Honda Accord PZEV: xx.x gallons
04 Honda Civic Hybrid - ULEV: xx.x gallons <-- Hint. I have posted details within the last week!
00 Honda Insight: xx.x gallons
03 Toyota Corolla: xx.x gallons

___Find the maximum answer for every xx.x and post here when you have found them all … If you need help, just ask.

___Good Luck
