Note: Removable tanks still must meet the splash shield and spill prevention rules. The cost for two tanks, two check
valves, and all couplings must be included in the engine section of the cost report.
B12.3 Fuel Tank
B12.3.1 Only a single fuel tank is permitted on the vehicle. Fuel tanks are restricted to the stock tank provided by Briggs &
Stratton. No holes are allowed in the tank even if they have been repaired. Fuel pumps may not be used.
B12.3.2 A standard Briggs and Stratton gas cap with a built in check valve (Part # B4325GS) is required. The retail price must be
included in the cost report.
B12.4 Fuel Lines
All fuel lines must be located away from sharp edges, hot engine components and be protected from chafing.
Grommetting is required where the lines pass through any member of the vehicle. Fuel lines are not allowed in the
cockpit.
B12.5 All lines must be SAE rated fuel lines and attached securely to prevent minimum line movement using sound
engineering practices. Lines must be no larger than the stock lines supplied with the engine (i.e. 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) outer
diameter and 6.3 mm (0.25 in.) inner diameter). The Briggs and Stratton fuel line is 1/4" SAE J30R14 or 30R7-RP.
Bulk fuel line can be ordered through Briggs and Stratton and is part number 395051R.
If a fuel filter is used, it must be a Briggs and Stratton stock filter.
B12.6 Spill Prevention
The fuel tank must be mounted so that if fuel spills it will not come in contact with the driver or the engine. Complying
with this rule requires a drip pan that is at least 203.2 mm (8 in) in diameter (or equivalent area) and has sides at least 38
mm (1.5 in) high above the top edge of the tank.
B12.6.1 Drip Pan Mounting
Drip pans must be mounted using sound engineering practices. A drip pan mounting comprised only of fastening
to the fuel tank filler neck is insufficient, and is not allowed. Drip pans must be graded or inclined such that all spilled
fuel drains from the drip pan – fuel must not pool anywhere in the pan.
B12.6.2 Drip Pan Drain
Fuel must drain from the drip pan through a drain line composed of pipe or tubing that carries fuel to the bottom of the
vehicle and releases under the vehicle. Fuel may not be released onto the belly pan, flotation, or any other part of the
vehicle. The clear diameter of the drain line system must be no less than 12.7 mm (½ in.) at any point, including fittings.
