Won't work unless you do a lot of modifications, Acewell goes from 0-100 Ohm can't remember which way round, but it's opposite to normal. Mini goes from 280 - 500 Ohm from memory but remember I'm old & get things wrong.

My acewell says it works on

Bar fuel meter works with 100 / 250 / 500 ohm senders
only displays if sender is connected

what does that mean?

Don't know if this helps, should get you going in the right direction at least.

Just need to pray/ hope that I left the wires on the acewell after the new loom or that could be a pain

I used the mini saloon sender and set the acewell to 100 and its perfect from empty through to full.

No modification required (for my set up anyway)

Just a little bending so the float didnt hit the inside of the tank

What tank are you using ??  And roughly where did you mount the sender ?

My tank is similar to one of Daves that sits behind the seats, but its wider/taller/deeper and out of stainless, with regards to the sender positioning, Id measure it but the tanks in now. I mounted it about half way up on the back of the tank and turned the float so it was in line with the tank, I tryed the sender in before I welded the sides on the tank which made life a lot easier

Cheers for that Jamie. I have one of Dave's tanks, but that might go into the ex 4 seater. I want as large a capacity as poss as I intend using the buggy daily, so the fire extinguishers are out! . Still need to experiment with the jerry can idea, which will give 20 litres
