The sixth gen Civics have 11.9 gallon tanks. But after about 10 or 10.5 the fuel system struggles to keep pressure. After EOC, you'll find a stalling tendency that you can resolve by priming the electric fuel pump by keying off/on once.

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.
