What? Who has a fridge that goes down to -95 degrees C? I suppose you could put it in a box or load it onto a pallet in bulk bearing in mind it would thaw in seconds....ffs isn't the sport on it's arse anyway without stirring up rubbish like this?

I think your taking things to the extreme. The fuel is not completly frozen it is chilled below the ambient temp in a fridge or freezer. Some riders are bringing portable chiller units into the pits where the may keep the fuel or frozen air filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
