As From the 01/01/2018 the following article will apply:
1. The original fuel tank cap must be replaced by maximum two openings to accommodate a ‘quick-fill’ type (i.e. aviation type) fuel valve. The maximum valve diameter of each tank valve or of each sleeve or pipe connecting the “fuel tower” to the tank shall not exceed 50.8 mm (2 inches).
Coaxial or concentric quick fill type valve systems are permitted. The maximum diameter for this type of quick fill fuel valve system is 78 mm. The opening for fuel transfer in a concentric type valve shall not exceed the area of a standard fuel valve opening with a maximum diameter of 2 inches (50.8 mm).
A protective and lockable cover must be affixed on the quick-fill valve(s) if no locking device is already applied to the closing system installed in the tank.
Any tampering with the opening or closing of the quick fuel valve system installed in the fuel tank will considered as an infringement to the safety requirement (the action of opening and closing the valves when the fuel and air are transferred must take place without any fuel spillage).
As From the 2018-2019 season only the FIM approved fuel valves will be permitted.

2. The refueling system can be a hand-held (portable) installation or “fuel tower” fixed securely to the pit box wall and must be a “closed” (circuit) system. Only a small air vent opening is permitted. The complete fuel tower installation must be rigid and fixed securely to the wall of the pit-box. The top of the tower-installed fuel container shall not exceed a maximum height of 2.60 m (from the ground).
The maximum dimension (length/height) of the portable fuel container is 100 cm. In any case, the total length/height of a portable container and fuel valve assembly shall not exceed 120 cm. Excess fuel must return to the fuel container.
All refuelling systems allowed must provide a leak-proof circuit system and be fitted with an opening to equalise the pressure within the circuit with the ambient air pressure. Fuel shall only be transferred by gravity feed (for safety reasons, no part of the refuelling installation may be cooled or pressurized).
All fuel shall be stored and used at ambient temperature; the maximum difference between the fuel and ambient temperature shall not exceed 15°C when stored. At no time shall the fuel temperature be below 0°C.
Fuel type supply hoses must be reinforced or be protected by a second outer layer (or larger tube). The maximum internal diameter (ID) for fuel supply hoses tubes shall exceed 60 mm. Excess fuel must be contained or return via an overflow line back to the main fuel container tower or to a handheld container. Extremely thin walled hoses used for air transfer cannot be used for fuel supply or overflow.
3. Fuel spills are not acceptable and very dangerous. If any evidence of a defective system is observed, the Team must follow all directives given by the Officials.
4. All personnel who are involved in the refuelling operations, including the person responsible for the fire extinguisher, must wear an overall made of fire retardant materials; hands and feet must be protected with gloves and footwear made of fire retardant materials; safety goggles/mask and a balaclava of fire-retardant quality. The use of a suitable protective helmet and eye protection is compulsory.
