beeoohtee:If the tank is overfilled, fuel is likely to spill into the EVAP charcoal canister which degrades the charcoal and can cause any of the valves/solenoids to fail. If it fails, fuel vapour cannot reach the engine and the ECU reads it as a large leak. Usually, replacing the EVAP purge valve fixes the p0455 error code but one must avoid the bad habit of overfilling the fuel tank to preserve the lifespan of the EVAP canister. Discontinue filling the tank at the first click. Clear code and see if it returns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf8mTAQEmPU

Thank you for the clarification. I cleared the code once but it returned. Research has shown that purge valve solenoid on the throttle body is often responsible for small leaks while Evap canister Vent valve is often the cause of large leaks. How/where can I get the genuine replacement part for the vent valve? aieromon:

Good evening all, I'm experiencing massive high fuel consumption on my civic 2006 Europe spec. Fuel consumption was normal until I changed my fuel pump and injector nozzles, that's when d problem started I just changed my spark plugs and still experiencing same issues. Kindly help |

Yemzeel:Have you been able to vet a solution. Kindly share |
| Re: My HONDA CIVIC Consumes Excess Fuel. by samintegrity(m): 9:40pm On Mar 22, 2025 |
orobosa26:Bro you may have been given a V6 fuel pump. I had similar issues sometimes ago, changed fuel pump only for my car to start swallowing fuel.. It turns out V6 pump are more power consuming as they pump out more fuel than that of v4. |

beeoohtee:This is super late, but that P0455 code can also be related to your fuel filter unit that houses your fuel pump... It's most likely clogged. |

Facing a similar issue. I now regret getting this car despite all the positive things I heard before buying it. Imagine doing 23 miles with 11 litres(8mpg) of fuel. I have replaced almost everything related to the codes, yet this demon won’t stop consuming fuel. Getting just 3.5 km per litre is simply too much. I give up |
