However, these drivers’ attention is drawn to the fact that the locations of available petrol stations for the pump fuel are not given in the itinerary of the rally (Appendix 1.1) and the distances from one refuel to the next are different from the ones given in the afore mentioned itinerary. The distances between the pump fuel petrol stations are given in Appendix 1.4. Competitors using pump fuel do not have to follow the route marked in the road book to visit the FIA fuel remote refuel zones, as given above in Art. 7.5 - NB! Be careful to follow any instructions given by officials concerning e.g. technical checks at the refuel zones. Please note shortening of road section distances as given in Art. 12.5. The competitors using pump fuel/diesel are reminded to refuel their cars before the start of the rally for 88.71 km of road section as the first official refuel point is on the road section between Start and Regroup in Lahti. Also, please note that there is no pump fuel/diesel available in the Paviljonki Service Park, but you must always return to the Parc Fermé (and end-of-day service) with enough fuel to reach the next refuelling in the following day. Competitors who use pump fuel and retire from the rally, must refuel their car before reporting in the parc fermé for re-start. Refuelling in the service park area is forbidden, please contact scrutineers for instructions. The competitors using these petrol stations are kindly asked to pay attention to other customers as the stations are open to public.
