HONDA 2008 Civic GX - Manual (Page 12)

Fuel system maintenance and repair
should be done only by an authorized
Honda Civic GX dealer.
The in-tank fuel shutoff valve is
controlled by the ignition switch.
When the ignition switch is in the
LOCK (0) or ACCESSORY (I)
position, the valve is closed, shutting
off fuel flow to the engine. It opens
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON (II) position. This is similar
to how an electric fuel pump works
in a gasoline-powered vehicle.
A manual shutoff valve is located
underneath the vehicle, near the rear
tire on the driver’s side. We
recommend that you locate this
valve so you can find it quickly.
To turn off the valve, turn the lever
one-quarter turn clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to turn the valve
back on.
Turn off the valve if you ever suspect
a fuel leak or are involved in an
accident.

GX dealer, or a qualified NGV
