It holds 11.9 US gallons. At about 10.5 gallons it starts to need extra priming of the fuel pump to maintain fuel pressure in between starts. But just one extra key cycle, off/on, primes it fine.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
