Default Re: 2000 Accord EX ran out of gas with 5 gallons left in tank


Man that SUCKS! First thing to do would be to locate a good used one from a
wrecker. It will probably still be on the vehicle, so it will give you a
good opportunity to see how it comes off, and you can just use the reverse
logic to put it on.

I'm sure a Honda Shop manual would have better details on how to do this,
they are floating around for free on the net, or available for $50-80 on
different websites that sell books.
