Leaded Fuel
The use of leaded fuels is banned in motorcycle sport as of the 1st of January 2019.
Pump Fuel
Generally speaking, fuel must be purchased from retail petrol pumps of commercial fuel suppliers. Additives must not be used, except those specified in the relevant discipline chapters of the Manual of Motorcycle Sport.
Other Fuels
Other fuels may not be used, unless they are homologated by Motorcycling Australia as follows:
Homologation of Fuel
Unleaded fuel produced by an oil company for sale in the Australian general transport fuel market through retail petrol pumps in at least 5 states does not have to be homologated.
For the avoidance of doubt this means the fuel must be available for sale on demand from a roadside bowser outlet at each of at least 5 separate service stations in each of at least five Australian states or territories.
Organisations seeking homologation of fuel must provide MA with:
a) Two 1-litre sealed containers of the fuel for analysis,
b) Details of the fuels characteristics,
c) The distribution network,
d) The price structure,
e) A homologation fee of $2,500 in the first year and $2,000 per year thereafter.
