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 D5 D5, which is to be operated by a single Refueller and returns all displaced 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-051, 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 D5 1.4.2 Have an ID no greater than 51mm; and 1.4.3 Must be encased in the Pirtek branded Fuel Delivery Hose Velcro wrap, 175mm wide and a minimum 3.2m long; and 1.5 A single vent hose, which must be Part Identification - PIRTEK Part-IROFSD-038020 , or a combined vent hose which must be Part Identification - PIRTEK Part-IROFSD-038020 and IPCF-038 (minimum 180mm to a maximum 300mm), which must be made of a flexible rubber or a fuel resistant reinforced plastic material and must be used to direct the expelled fumes D5 from the Car to the Refuelling tower and must remain open at all times. 1.5.1 The total maximum length of the vent hose is 4.5m; and 1.5.2 The maximum ID of the vent hose is 38mm; 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. 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 D5 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 D5. 3. Maintenance 3.1 Each Team is required to maintain all Refuelling equipment in good working order. D5 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 – 2026 Division “D” Page D119 of D124 2026 FINAL 4. Permitted Items 4.1 The following items are permitted to be attached to a Refuelling Tower: 4.1.1 A warning light affixed to the FIA Refuelling Fitting, operated from within the Pit Garage D5 to alert the Refueller when to remove the fuel nozzle from the Car. © Supercars – 2026 Division “D” Page D120 of D124 2026 FINAL SCHEDULE D6.
