Fuel Flow Meter requirement

Chapter: C5

In Simple Terms

Every F1 car must have a device that measures fuel flow, and this device must be located inside the fuel tank. Teams are not allowed to heat or cool this meter intentionally, as doing so could affect its accuracy and give them an unfair advantage.

  • Fuel Flow Meter must be physically located entirely within the fuel tank
  • Any intentional heating or cooling of the meter is strictly forbidden
  • The rule ensures fair fuel consumption monitoring across all teams
  • Violations represent an attempt to circumvent fuel flow regulations
Official FIA Text

All cars must be fitted with a Fuel Flow Meter wholly within the fuel tank. Any intentional heating or chilling of the Fuel Flow Meter is forbidden.
