Had to go for the larger tank due to geographical location. Have to go to larger town’s for petrol stations . 40 miles north of Aberdeen , oil capital of europe,
but for couriers delivering items were classed as a remote area.
Fancy posting photos of your A of D ?.
Keep safe.

Hi there,
So the standard Ace seems to go a lot further the tank does look taller

Takes me back to Ducati and it’s fuel non-gauge. Would count up from 0 after the light came on.

I’d not be worrying about if it’s 10 or 20 but light on =go to petrol station, do not pass go, do not collect £200.

But as anyone who knows me will tell you, I’m a pessimist through and through.

I’m really interested the actual miles after the reserve light comes on .
Tom said 20 miles, I’m more inclined to agree 10miles is a more realistic range.
For a bit of research I’m going to fill a can strap it on to the rack and go for a run .
Normal roads, normal riding . A & B class roads , no motorways.
Michael Smith that posted photos of when he toured the Alps will have a good idea of a tank range.
Love to see photos of your Ace of Diamonds.
Keep safe.

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.

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. [attachment=0]48CE8C50-972B-4AF7-84EC-473B9EB05FC4.jpeg[/attachment]

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

Cheers,

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.

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

[quote="RUSH 1237 ACE" post_id=302165 time=1602837175 user_id=6276]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 ?[/quote]

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

Cheers,
Hedge

.. standard road miles .. presumably
