I think the problem with the Civic is that the fuel tank is not a normal shape that can be measured with a standard 'float' mechanism.

Because the tank is spread out under the floor it must haev another way of trying to gauge how much fuel is in there even when it is sloshing around during driving.

I wonder how deep the tank actually is ? probably only a few inches.
