The fuel tank capacity for most U.S.-market 2009 Honda Accords is about 17.1 gallons (approximately 65 liters).
Understanding the figure
The capacity indicates how much gasoline the tank can hold when full. It affects driving range between fill-ups and fuel economy considerations, but actual range depends on engine choice, driving conditions, and maintenance.
Tank capacity by engine/trim
Note: The figures below reflect typical capacities for common U.S. versions in 2009. Exact capacity can vary slightly by trim or optional equipment.
- 4‑cylinder sedan (2.4L): approximately 17.1 gallons
- V6 sedan (3.5L): approximately 17.1 gallons
- Coupe variant: approximately 17.1 gallons
In practice, the tank size remains essentially the same across these configurations, with minor rounding differences in some published data.
What this means for driving
With a full tank, the Accord’s range depends on fuel economy. A typical 2009 Accord with the 4‑cylinder engine might deliver around 20–30 miles per gallon in mixed driving, translating to an approximate range of 340–520 miles per tank, though actual results vary by driving style and conditions.
Summary
In short, a 2009 Honda Accord usually has a 17.1‑gallon fuel tank (about 65 liters). This capacity is consistent across most trims, offering a practical balance between range and vehicle weight. For precise figures, consult the owner’s manual or the data plate on your specific vehicle, as regional variations can occur.
