D21.4 © Supercars – 2023 Division “D” Page D93 of D96 2023 FINAL REFUELLING EQUIPMENT - REFUELLING TOWER REQUIREMENTS 1. General 1.1 Each Refuelling Towers must conform to the following: 1.1.1 The maximum height to the top surface of the Refuelling Tower is two (2) metres above the Pit Lane. 1.1.2 Only non-fuel holding connections and vents are permitted above this height. 1.2 The Refuelling Tower must be fitted with a ball cock or similar fast action cut-off valve, which must work on the “deadman handle” principle. D4 1.2.1 The cut-off valve must be attached directly to the fuel reservoir and must close immediately, stopping the flow of fuel from the reservoir, when pressure on the handle of the cut-off valve is released. The closing principle of the cut-off valve must not rely on the action of gravity alone. 1.3 The Refuelling Tower must only incorporate a FIA Refuelling Fitting as detailed in Schedule D4, which is to be operated by a single Refueller/vent attendant and returns all displaced D4 fumes from the Car’s fuel tank to the ullage space in the reservoir of the Refuelling Tower. 1.4 A single fuel delivery hose, which must be Part Identification: PIRTEK Part-IROFSD-038020, which must be connected to the emergency cut-off valve. 1.4.1 The complete flexible part of the delivery hose must be at least 3.5m in length not including any adaptor fitted to the FIA Refuelling Fitting or Refuelling Tower; and 1.4.2 Have an ID no greater than 38mm; and 1.5 A single vent hose, which must be Part Identification - GRANUFLEX040, which must be made D4 of a flexible rubber or a fuel resistant reinforced plastic material and must be used to direct the expelled fumes from the Car to the Refuelling tower and must remain open at all times. 1.5.1 The maximum length of the vent hose is 4.5m; and 1.5.2 The maximum ID of the vent hose is 40mm; and 1.6 The reservoir must be vented via an explosion safe shielded vent. 1.6.1 This vent must be open at all times and only atmospheric pressure may be exerted on the fuel in the main reservoir. D4 1.6.2 No artificial pressurisation of the reservoir is permitted. 1.7 It is permitted to add a support structure to the underside of the Car filling hose where the flexible hose joins the quick release at the ball valve: 1.7.1 No support must extend more than 200mm from the joint. 2. Dry Break Fitting 2.1 All Refuelling and venting operations in Pit Lane must only be carried out using male and female dry-break fittings, which conform to all FIA requirements. 2.2 The design of the FIA Refuelling Fitting must conform to the drawings detailed in Schedule D4 D4. 3. Maintenance 3.1 Each Team is required to maintain all Refuelling equipment in good working order. 3.2 O-rings must be regularly inspected and replaced if there are any signs of expansion or damage. 3.3 Springs and tracks within the FIA Refuelling Fitting must also be regularly inspected and kept lubricated during those times the Refuelling valves are not in operation. © Supercars – 2023 Division “D” Page D94 of D96 2023 FINAL 4. Permitted Items 4.1 The following items are permitted to be attached to a Refuelling Tower: D4 4.1.1 A warning light affixed to the FIA Refuelling Fitting, operated from within the Pit Garage to alert the Refueller when to remove the fuel nozzle from the Car. © Supercars – 2023 Division “D” Page D95 of D96 2023 FINAL SCHEDULE D5.
