Addendum 2
Racing Memo 01-03 - Enforcement of GCR 17.4.2 Fuel Sample Acquisition
As a result of compliance inspections during early season events and from
experience gained at the 2000 Valvoline Runoffs, the Competition Board has
asked that all Competitors and Scrutineers be reminded that GCR Section
17.4.2 states:
"All cars shall be equipped with an easily accessible port located
between the fuel tank and the carburetor(s) or fuel injectors to
facilitate acquisition of fuel samples. If possible, this port should
not be located in the engine compartment. Cars equipped with a factory
fuel pressure test port (e.g. fuel injected SS, T, IT, SRF, etc.) are
not required to have an additional fuel sampling port. Where a factory
test port exists, competitors shall provide the appropriate tooling
necessary to safely obtain a fuel sample from this port. On all other
cars, it is recommended that a securely capped T-fitting be installed
in the fuel line. A manned fire extinguisher shall be present whenever
fuel samples are being acquired."
Competitors and Scrutineers are reminded that the installation of proper
fuel testing ports and/or the use of appropriate tooling (SS, IT, T, SRF,
etc) to safely obtain a fuel sample is an important safety measure.
Ideally, this is an area that should be routinely inspected during Annual
Inspection of every car. In any case, appropriate measures shall be taken to
see that all cars are in compliance throughout the season. Removal of fuel
lines from carburetors and/or fuel rails presents a significant potential
problem that can be avoided when an appropriate means of sample collection
is available."
