Sport/Tuner Category Fuel - Full Rules
1. Sport and Tuner Category vehicles will use fuel which is “Federally approved for use on public highways.” This does not allow racing-type fuels which are available at service station pumps.
2. Fuels comprised of more than 15% ethanol may only be used when specified by the manufacturer for regular road use (e.g., in the owner’s manual for flex-fuel vehicles, not including emergency situations).
3. Propane or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel may be used in any category provided that the following conditions are met:
A. The tank must be located in a safe location on the car and be firmly and securely mounted. This does not permit the cutting of vehicle sheet metal (e.g., the trunk floor) for tank installation.
B. The tank must conform to Federal and local container standards and have an emergency relief/cut-off control.
C. For use of propane or CNG as a fuel, no changes to the induction system of the engine may be made with the exception of the necessary fuel lines to the carburetor or fuel injection. There may also be no other engine parts changed.
D. The entire system must meet local ordinances covering the use and transmission of compressed gas.
E. Propane or CNG may not be used in combination with another fuel.
