Re: refueling procedure?

It's pretty basic iirc.  1 man on the extinguisher, 1 man spilling gas all over the car.  Both must be fully suited with visors down.  You cannot work on the car and no one can be in the car while fueling.

Re: refueling procedure?

Make sure you have a drip pan to catch the fuel that you spill all over the place. It is also maditory.

Re: refueling procedure?

It depends from track to track, but be prepared to have two guys in full driver's gear an extinguisher, and a drip pan at a bare minimum.

Re: refueling procedure?

Thanks for the info. Gotta find a drip pan.

Re: refueling procedure?

So if our car came with two filler necks from the factory, can we have two guys filling gas? If so do we need two guys with extinguishers?

Re: refueling procedure?

Seriously, '87 Jaguar XJ6s have filler necks on either side and two separate fuel tanks plumbed together. Is dual fuelling allowed?

Why not?  We have all seen stranger things at LeMon races.  As long as you have two seperate guys in full nomex, two firemen, two drip pans, you should be good.

We are the people your parents warned you about.

We won the IOE at Southern Discomfort.
We got screwed at The Real Hoopties of New Jersey  and we took cars down with us.
We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

Re: refueling procedure?

That would be if we needed to use BOTH firemen.
