If I recall correctly -- the manual states that there is a small reserve of gas in the tank even after the guage reads empty. I think you're much better off with that, rather than running an expensive engine dry of gas accidentally.
Ymryl said:I don't have a problem with a small reserve when the guage reads E, a couple of gallons would be fine, reading E when a quarter of a 28 gallon tank is still left is just wrong.
I also had a Honda (Odyssey) that had the same problem you just described. When I asked the service manager at my dealer about it he explained that they had changed the design of the gas tanks that year (2001) and that there was nothing they could do to remedy the situation (they did change the sending unit just to try it).
I just wanted to know if this was the same type of situation (bad design) or if it was just a problem with my particular vehicle.
