(e) Manganese is not permitted in concentrations above 0.005 g/l. For
the present this is solely to cover possible minor contamination by
other fuels. The fuel will contain no substance that is capable of an
exothermic reaction in the absence of external oxygen.
2.7.3 Air
Lead replacement petrols, although basically free of lead, are not an
alternative to the use of unleaded petrol. Such petrols may contain
unacceptable additives not consistent with the FIM Fuel Regulations.
Only ambient air may be mixed with the fuel as an oxidant.
2.7.4 Primary Tests
2.7.4.1 The FIM may require tests of fuels to be administered before, or
at the time of delivery to, an event at which such fuels are to be
used.
2.7.4.2 The FIM may request any person or organisation, being a potential
Official Supplier of fuel, to submit a sample for testing for
conformity with the fuel specifications.
2.7.5 Fuel Sampling and Testing
1) The FIM Superbike Technical Director has the sole responsibility for
the administration and supervision during the taking of fuel samples.
2) The preferred fuel test method is the Gas chromatography or GC
Fingerprint method.
Gas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique for separating
compounds based primarily on their volatility and polarity. Gas
chromatography provides both qualitative and quantitative information for
individual compounds present in a sample. The Gas chromatography is
widely used for the analysis of fuels.
