What is the actual fuel tank capacity of the VOGE 500AC?
2 Answers
The actual fuel tank capacity of the VOGE 500AC reaches 19 liters, which is larger than the 500R (17.2 liters). Introduction to the fuel tank: A fuel container on aircraft or automobiles, the fuel tank, known as a hydraulic reservoir in hydraulic terminology, is a specialized container for storing hydraulic oil or fluid in hydraulic systems. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground, and sufficient attention must be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the inner surface of the tank. Functions of the fuel tank: In addition to storing oil, the fuel tank in a hydraulic system also serves to dissipate heat, separate air bubbles from the oil, and settle impurities. Many auxiliary components are installed in the tank, such as coolers, heaters, air filters, and liquid level gauges.
I just took a long-distance ride on my VOGE 500AC, and the actual measured fuel tank capacity is around 19.2 liters, which is pretty close to the official 19-liter claim. However, don’t expect to hit that mark every time you fill up, as you need to leave some room for fuel expansion. My usual riding fuel consumption is about 5.5 liters per 100 km, and with a full tank, a range of 360 km is no problem. The fuel tank design is quite reliable—I’ve never encountered issues like leaks or excessive shaking, and it feels stable even after 300 km of continuous riding. It’s advisable not to overfill the tank to avoid fuel pressure issues. For longer range, I always plan gas station stops using the app and occasionally clean the fuel filter to improve efficiency. In practice, this tank size is well-suited for commuting and short trips.
