Fuel

There are restrictions of the type of fuel used in Motorcycle Sport in Australia.

Each discipline in the Manual of Motorcycle Sport includes some information on the type of fuels accepted for use in that discipline.

Leaded Fuel

The use of leaded fuel is permitted under certain very restricted circumstances. These are dependant on the discipline. Check the individual disciplines for more details.

Competitors can buy leaded racing fuel or avgas from fuel suppliers who hold, or are covered by an approval from the Australian Government. You cannot buy avgas for non-aviation purposes from airport fuel suppliers unless they are approved.

To buy leaded racing fuel or avgas from an approved supplier, you will need to supply evidence that you are a current member of a recognised motor sport association or club. For Motorcycle Sport, a current Motorcycling Australia competition licence is required to be produced. Leaded racing fuel or avgas will only be supplied in sealed containers with capacity up to 200L, unless otherwise approved by the Australian Government.

Other Fuels

Other fuels may not be used, unless they are homolgated by Motorcycling Australia under General Competition Rule 12.9, as follows:
