Wanna borrow my siphon??

[Zimbo16]

I work on about 2 litres for qualifying and 3 litres per race on average, so about 8 litres for a day.

I would say ak is about spot on for the dd bike. But the paddock bike uses about 3 times as much

[andys 900ss]

I came home with a full jerry can of fuel from Cadders last weekend as my bike only used one 3/4 tank of fuel in qualifying, couple laps of first race and full second race. Mind you, the fuel tank is empty now!!!

Reserve is 3 litres and I found out you can do a race even if your reserve light comes on during the first lap

Yep, I found out the same at Cadders. Race 1 the light came on half way down Park Straight on lap 1. Kept going but tried not to rev it as high. Got to the end without a splutter but don't think I had the required 2 litres left at the end!
