Fuel storage at Manfeild

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

I think this could go deeper than simply how much and where you keep your fuel on the day.
It may end up with deignated refuling areas (was tried in the uk) having a 'trained' suitibly equiped fireman stood next to you (Le Mans) the list could go on.

How the fuck are the car guys going to manage it with the amount of gas they haul around.

Alot of tracks in the uk and europe ended up putting in fuel bowsers to get over this and having to charge mega $ for it.

The nanny state is taking over!

Woops thats better its getting carried away regarding fuel who is going to be a fireman to stand by if they bring that law in as you need to be trained I could be a fireman on the day but I would be riding its rediculous lets hope this is only for serious ammounts of fuel and not the 20litre supercheap auto fuel can

The Ruapuna facility sold AvGas. Now that it is being 'phased out' (banned) from car racing the facility will probably be dismantled.
At Teir One level ,Motorsport New Zealand put out to tender for fuel supplies at the track. Our old friends BP are the officiial supplier. They bring a 10 or 20ft container with drums of fuel and sell it to you 100l max at a time. The price - a bargin at $2.50l. No, you can't drive out the gate and buy some at the servo for $1.90l

You can if you race a bike and only run it on 98

To clarify - the situation regarding the use of only the (expensive) official fuei in car racing is only at Teir One - for now.
Otherwise its a case of please yourself.

I have a couple of jiggers with sealed ECU's which are just as happy on 91


Given that shit only flows downhill, it would seem that bike racing is 2 - 3 years behind the car twits

I asked several months ago what was happening at the Ruapuna fuel installation and was told it will carry E85 from some time in June...

Looks like a remit to accept E85 in the classes allowed 100 octane - and Methanol...
