2006 HONDA ODYSSEY FUEL PUMP MANUAL

But I see now I went 501 miles and then put in 17.92 gallons on that fill-up. Interesting point about the previous fill-up being short. But I kept it at the speed limit the whole way, which ranged from 70 to 80, except in the few urban areas. Wish it had an option like the Tesla to lose a few mph on the hills instead of downshifting. I use cruise control a lot but always intercept it on the uphills if it's going to downshift to maintain speed. That last tank was in the flatter (eastern) part of Iowa and Illinois and I had a serious tailwind. Mileage ranged from 25.12mpg to 30.46mpg. 66, my mileage would have been worse! A Dutch cousin came over in 2019, bought a Pilot in Chicago and drove 66 to Texas, but then improvised a route to hit the National Parks in Utah and then to Idaho, Nevada, and California from there. Mostly I-80 to Colorado, Utah, and to California. 66 starts very close to me and I grew up near it, but it's all chopped up around here. This whole thing reminds me of THIS Odyclub thread: JyRO's fuel capacity experimentsĬlick to expand.No. So, had almost 23 gallons on board, No, my fuel evap system did not fail. Purely stop-and-go in-town driving, the one time I got over 350 miles of 'no highway' range. Yes, I got incredible range on that tank. It took forever, dribbling it into the fill neck. With the van slightly angled nose down (my garage floor has a very, very, very slight downslope), I added just shy of 4 gallons. When I got home after filling it up, I backed it into the garage, got out my 5-gallon jug that I keep for my riding mower, and decided to see if I could add more. That's less than 19 gallon capacity if my math is correct, and just barely 3 gallons left when the low light illuminates. I put barely a gallon in it from my push lawnmower can, started up, drove to the gas station, and it took, IIRC, about 18 gallons. Phew! SWMBO would not have been happy if we were on the road. Luckily, it died while idling in my driveway. Up to then, I had been tracking my fuel mileage carefully (we had been on a road trip, and had just gotten home.I'm using ancient personal memory here.) About 26 mpg, average, with careful driving and just me and the missus. One time I ran it about 75 miles after the low light illuminated. I always assumed when the 'low light' illuminated, that I had about 4-1/2, maybe 5 gallons of gas left (because the fill-up took just over 15 gallons.) I was wrong. I've had similar experiences to regarding our 2002 EX and 2003 EX (now owned by an elderly lady, reliable daily driver). Punch it into the googler: it says 20 gallons.

What the hey? Why is the official 2004 owner's manual this far off, in two places? I looked at other threads on this forum and this seems consistent with what other people have found, but I see no further information or explanation. Combined with the gas can, the tank took about 18 gallons but certainly nowhere near 20 or even 18.5 gallons. 5 minutes later, doubting myself, I went back to the pump and tried again and it clicked off right away again. To be sure, I ran the pump again and it clicked off right away. I filled it up and was shocked to see the nozzle clicked off at 17.3 gallons. I put about 3/4s of a gallon in the gas can and rode back and put it in the tank and drove the Odyssey back to the station. I had my bike with me and jumped on it and rode to the local Casey's and borrowed a gas can.

Until that one time.Ĭoming out of Omaha and into Council Bluffs, Iowa two evenings ago, I ran out of gas.

So when I would go 450 or 500 miles on a tank but then the pump would click off at 17 or so gallons, I assumed I had 3 gallons (75+ miles) as a cushion, and that the buried needle and warning light were for sissies.

I went past 500 miles on several tanks, since I 'knew' that I have a 20 gallon gas tank: my owner's manual says in two places that the fuel tank capacity is 20.00 US gallons. I just drove my 2004 Odyssey 6,000 miles from Chicago to California and back with lots of stops over the course of a month.
