Fuel Information
Only fuels that can be used
NFPA-52 and SAE J1616 standards
Use of a fuel that does not meet these standards can cause a decrease in engine
power and damage the emission controls.
Fuel tank capacity:
Slow filling
6.96 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)
7.77 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)
Fast filling
5.84 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)
6.51 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)
How to Refuel
There are two methods of refueling:
Fast filling
It takes about three to five minutes to fill up the fuel tank. This method is usually
available at stations designed to refuel natural gas vehicles.
During fast filling, the natural gas is warmed, causing the pressure in the tank to
rise and reduces the amount of fuel you can put in.
Slow filling
It takes about an hour and a half per GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) to fill up
the fuel tank. This method can be done using a vehicle refueling appliance.

Fuel Information
For information on the locations of the CNG fuel
stations:
49 States: Visit either http://w w w.afdc.energy.gov/
afdc/fuels/natural_gas_ locations.html , or www.
cngprices.com.
Or call Gas Vehicle Coalition at (202) 824-7360.
California: Visit www.cngvc.org.
The location of the CNG pump can vary from
station to station, may not be clearly marked, or
be readily accessible during certain hours. It is
recommended that you call the station (the number
should be displayed with the address information)
to verify the location and availability of the CNG
pump before you arrive.
How to Refuel
WARNING
Compressed natural gas is flammable and
highly explosive. You could be killed or
seriously injured if leaking natural gas is
ignited.
If you suspect a leak, have your vehicle
immediately inspected and repaired by
an authorized Honda Civic Natural Gas

Maintaining the Fuel System
Maintenance
Your vehicle’s fuel system must be maintained and repaired by an authorized Civic
Natural Gas dealer or a certified NGV technician. The fuel system has no user-
serviceable parts, and its components must not be modified.
See instructions on fuel container for inspection and service life.
Maintaining the Fuel System
Service Pressure: 3,600 psi (24,800 kPa)

WARNING
Tampering with, or improperly
maintaining the high-pressure fuel system
can cause a dangerous condition in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Never attempt to modify the fuel system,
and always have fuel system maintenance
performed by an authorized Honda Civic
Natural Gas dealer, or a qualified NGV
technician.
Indoor Vehicle Storage
If you store your vehicle indoors, make sure there is adequate ventilation. We
recommend that you also install a natural gas leak detector.

WARNING
Loose items can fly around the interior
in a crash and can seriously injure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely
before driving.
Storing a Flat Tire
1. Open the trunk.
2. Raise the trunk floor and the lower part of
the trunk lining.
3. Remove the rubber caps from the holes in
the trunk floor and the trunk lining, then
align both holes.
4. Place the flat tire straight up in the trunk,
with the outside of the wheel facing
forward.
5. Take the support plate and the wing bolt
out of the tool kit. Put the plate on the
wing bolt.
6. Insert the wing bolt through the hole in
the center of the wheel and the trunk
lining, then tighten the bolt.
7. Store the spacer cone and the spare tire

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
This vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire. If the tire has a large cut or is
otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the vehicle towed. If the tire
only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can use the temporary tire
repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station for a more permanent
repair.
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking
brake.
2. Put the shift lever in
P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK
0.
When towing a trailer, unhitch the trailer.

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
The kit should not be used in the following
situations. Instead, contact a dealer or a roadside
assistant to have the vehicle towed.
The tire sealant has expired.
•More than two tires are punctured.
•The puncture or cut is larger than 3/16 inch (4 mm).
•The tire side wall is damaged or the puncture is
•outside the tire contact area.
When the puncture is: Kit Use
Smaller than 3/16 inch (4 mm) Ye s
Larger than 3/16 inch (4 mm) No
Damage has been caused by driving with the tire
•extremely under inflated.
The tire bead is no longer seated.
•The rim is damaged.
•
Do not remove a nail or screw that punctured the
tire. If you remove it from the tire, you may not be
able to repair the puncture using the kit.

WARNING
Tire sealant contains substances that are
harmful and can be fatal if swallowed.
If accidentally swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Drink plenty of water and get
medical attention immediately.
For skin or eye contact, flush with cool
water and get medical attention if
necessary.
In cold temperatures, the sealant may not flow
easily. In this situation, warm it up for five minutes
before using.
The sealant can permanently stain clothing and
other materials. Be careful during handling and
wipe away any spills immediately.

4. Plug in the compressor to the accessory
power socket.
Be careful not to pinch the cord in a door
or window.
5. Start the engine.
Keep the engine running while injecting
sealant and air.

6. Turn the selector switch to SEALANT/AIR .
7. Press the inflator switch to turn on the
compressor.
The compressor starts injecting sealant
and air into the tire.
8. When the sealant injection is complete,
continue to add air.
9. After the air pressure reaches 30 psi (210
kPa), turn off the kit.
To check the pressure, occasionally turn
off the compressor and read the gauge.

WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in
an enclosed or even partly enclosed area
can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon
monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Only run the engine to power the air
compressor with the vehicle outdoors.
NOTICE Do not operate the tire repair kit compressor
for more than 15 minutes. The accessory power
socket and compressor can overheat and become
permanently damaged.
Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher
than actual. After the sealant injection is complete
the pressure will drop and then begin to rise again
as the tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To
accurately measure the air pressure using the gauge,
turn the air compressor off only after the sealant
injection is complete.
If the required air pressure is not reached within
10 minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged
for the kit to provide the necessary seal and your
vehicle will need to be towed.
