Tank range

Post by RUSH 1237 ACE » Fri Oct 16, 2020 8:32 am

I’m only getting 70miles before gauge saying 0 but fuel light is not on when filling up only get £9.50 worth in so I’m assuming that you can go a lot further with the gauge on 0 ?

Doesn't sound right to me. The gauges are notoriously in-accurate but thats ridiculous.

What car, which engine, which dash, and where are the 70miles (road, off-road, or track)?

I’m guessing bike - Ace forum?

What tank version do you have? Ie, what's its capacity.

I think it’s supposed to hold 12ltrs the Ace of diamonds seems to have a shallower tank to the standard Ace

Low tank on mine. 70 miles sounds about right before playing fuel roulette. Apparently, there is a decent reserve but I've not been brave enough.

Think I've ridden mine once in the past 6 mos so I can't even recall when I start getting jittery...

Hi guys.
I have the larger tank than standard. When full the gauge reads 10 , after about 70 miles it goes to 9 after 10ish miles goes to 8 and so on down to the reserve light comes on . Tom at Ariel said after light comas on you have 20 miles of fuel.Only once has my reserve light been on and when I looked in the tank their was very little fuel left. Let’s have some ace photos posted. Keep safe in these troubled times.

I get about 80 to zero (Ace of Diamonds has the smallest tank I think). It's probably the only real niggle I have with the thing, as it's really hard to judge use and zero causes panic - never had the reserve light on yet, but I very much doubt it's any more than 10 miles with the small tank.
