IC.5.2 Fuel System

IC.5.2.1 The Fuel System must be designed so that:

a. The Fuel Tank is capable of being filled to capacity without manipulating the tank or the vehicle in any manner.

b. During refueling on a level surface, the formation of air cavities or other effects that cause the fuel level observed at the sight tube to drop after movement or operation of the vehicle (other than due to consumption) are prevented.

c. Spillage during refueling cannot contact the driver position, exhaust system, hot engine parts, or the ignition system.

IC.5.2.2 The Fuel System location must meet IC.1.2 and F.9

IC.5.2.3 A Firewall must separate the Fuel Tank from the driver, per T.1.8
